#1296 Deeper lists in markdown
Closed: Fixed Opened by jflory7.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

Problem

Sometimes one level of bullets isn't quite enough – it would be helpful to have deeper levels / subpoints of lists in Pagure comments.

Analysis

For organizing discussion, ideas, and brainstorming, lists are an effective tool for communicating in an organized way. In Trac, we had the ability to go an infinite number of levels in lists, but Pagure appears limited to only one. It would be helpful if there were support for more complex lists in markdown for Pagure.

Implementation suggestion

  1. Research how markdown can render lists or if there are ways to "expand" lists in other flavors of markdown
  2. Add support for deeper list levels
  3. ???
  4. Profit! :tada:

I'm definitely not an expert with regards to how the technical implementation for this would work…

So you want something like this?

  • test
    • test2
      • test2.5
  • test3

@pingou Yes, exactly like that - did you do that just now with raw HTML or is there already support for this in Pagure Markdown??

This is plain markdown: 

So you want something like this?
* test
    * test2
        - test2.5
* test3

You need 4 spaces indentation, but it works out of the box :)

Okay, four spaces – that's what I was doing wrong. I don't think is documented on the Markdown syntax page? If not, maybe a separate ticket could be a Markdown how-to page hosted on Pagure?

I actually found it on the github doc
https://help.github.com/articles/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax/#lists :smile:

We could add a page to pagure's doc with some information about the markdown we support.

If this something you would be interested in doing?

To update this ticket, this is something I will volunteer to do (briefly discussed in IRC). I'll work on getting a PR in before the end of the month (will also file a new ticket to track this).

Ok, so let's close this ticket as fixed then :)
