As far as I know I don't think it has nested lists either.

  Of course it does. Just indent by four spaces: 1. Foo 1. Alice 2. Bob 2. Bar

    I'm pretty sure that's third party enhancement of markdown (maybe github flavoured markdown). Some markdown editors do not support this. See the official markdown guide. There is no entry on nested list. http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#list http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#list

    I've always struggled to find what is supported in a HN text box(MD, reST or whatever markup language) and what is not and somehow that YC or HN post/official page has eluded me till now!
