Re: Formatting to Markdown inserts space indentation in list items

[John MACFARLANE <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

There's no way to retain all the details of the original
formatting.  Everything goes via an intermediate
representation of a structured document, which does not
store details like how many spaces between the bullet and
the text...

There's actually good reason to format the way we do, since
it makes everything line up when you obey the four-space
rule:

-   beginning paragraph

    second paragraph of list

    -   sublist

Obeying the four-space rule is what you should do if you
want your document to be compatible with the most Markdown
implementations.
