That's a "feature" of a specific renderer. I just went 22 levels deep with Zed and Marked, and both kept rendering each line as regular text.

- lelanthran 10mo ago>> The average person does not want to render code. > I just went 22 levels deep with Zed and Marked Sounds like you're agreeing with me :-/ Or are you arguing that the average person is a programmer, using programming editors and JS libraries?
- kstrauser 10mo agoI don’t follow. Marked definitely isn’t a programming tool. There’s nothing about Markdown that says nested lists should look like code. That’s just an accident of whatever editor you might be using, not of others.
- lelanthran 10mo ago> There’s nothing about Markdown that says nested lists should look like code. Yes there is. The Common Mark spec, from 2014, says 4+ spaces indents are code. Nested lists go beyond 4+ indents pretty fast.
- kstrauser 10mo ago…as long as you ignore the context that it’s a nested listed under a less-nested list. Also, note that CommonMark is not identical to Markdown. It intends to be a standard definition of the language, but may differ from the original definition and implementation.
