Nested lists are not working

[j.femia@…]

The following markdown results in a single level list, instead of being correctly nested.

* List item
* Other list item
 * Nested item
 * Other nested item

Output:

• List item
• Other list item
• Nested item
• Other nested item

​Python-Markdown says:

The ​syntax rules clearly state that when a list item consists of multiple paragraphs, “each subsequent paragraph in a list item must be indented by either 4 spaces or one tab” (emphasis added). However, many implementations do not enforce this rule and allow less than 4 spaces of indentation. The implementers of Python-Markdown consider it a bug to not enforce this rule.

This applies to any block level elements nested in a list, including paragraphs, sub-lists, blockquotes, code blocks, etc. They must always be indented by at least four spaces (or one tab) for each level of nesting.

In the event that one would prefer different behavior, ​tab_length can be set to whatever length is desired. Be warned however, as this will affect indentation for all aspects of the syntax (including root level code blocks).

​PatchWelcome. Ideally we should allow the behavior to be configured using an plugin option.
