Unordered list nested inside an ordered list causes numbers to be incorrect

[daltonclaybrook]

When using an unordered list as a child of an ordered list element, the HTML that is produced does not preserve the nesting, causing the <ol> and <ul> tags to appear at the same level in the hierarchy. This in turn causes the numbers in the ordered list to be incorrect.

Here's an example demonstrating the issue

You can see that each item is listed with "1." even though they are numbered 1-4 in the markdown.

In the rendered HTML, you can see the <ol> and <ul> tags being rendered at the same level rather than the <ul> tags being nested inside the <ol> tags as expected.

I'm having the same problem.

If you add one space to your sub-item, it will indent properly (admittedly with a space on top which I don't think is the default behaviour of MD.

I have the same problem. Unfortunately I don'y have control of the original markdown doc to add the space as suggested.

I had this issue too also without control of the original markdown. Moving to Micromark fixed it unfortunately. I really liked Showdown...

There is a config disableForced4SpacesIndentedSublists, where disabled de numbers of spaces for nested.
The number is automatically interpreted by lib
