LaTeX to Markodown: nested lists converted to code blocks

LaTeX to Markodown: nested lists converted to code blocks

[Denis Bitouzé]

Hi,

consider the following `test.tex` `LaTeX` file, involving a nested list:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}
\item Foo
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Bar
  \end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

When it is converted (with `pandoc` 2.19.2) to `Markdown`:

  ┌────
  │ pandoc test.tex -o test.md
  └────

the resulting `test.md` file is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
-   Foo

    -   Bar
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

From the `Markdown` point of view, the nested list is a code block, not
a nested list. Would it not be separated from its parent with a blank
line, the problem wouldn't arise.

Is it a bug? Is there a way to prevent these blank lines?

Thanks.

I don't know how other markdown processors would handle it, but if you parse the resulting output with pandoc, "Bar" will be recognized as the first item of a sublist. For it to be parsed as a code block, it should be indented eight spaces.

Indeed. I tested on the “Markdown Test Bed”:

  ┌────
  │ https://www.ctan.org/markdown
  └────

which is wrong from this point of view.

Sorry for the noise.

You might like Babelmark, which is a great tool to compare the behavior
of different Markdown implementations.
