Remove space after list marker

pandoc -t markdown
- hello
^D
-   hello


I prefer the output didn't contain those extra spaces. Is there any way to 
remove them?

I agree. I always manually remove the three spaces. I'm not sure of the motivation either, but the fancy list extension does say the following: "They must be separated from the text that follows by at least one space, and, if the list marker is a capital letter with a period, by at least two spaces." I don't know if that is related...

The motivation is to make sure embedded lists and block-level
elements line up properly, obeying the "four-space rule."  Note
that pandoc's markdown reader no longer obeys the four-space
rule, and one could imagine revising the writer to be sensitive
to the `four_space_rule` extension flag. Nonetheless, obeying it
creates the most portable markdown output.

I for one always use the four columns indentation/three spaces between the
marker and the list item text. I find that it makes list easier to see when
eyeballing a document even if there aren't any continuation paragraphs.
When there are continuation paragraphs applying the four space rule makes
things less confusing.

Re: Remove space after list marker

[Thomas Byskov Dalgaard]

Hi!

Feature request right there for a future version of Pandoc.

I read braille and here I always remove the three spaces so I can read faster with my hands.
So would be great if the change is:
If the four_space_rule flag is not enabled there will be inserted no extra spaces after a list marker.

Best regards Thomas

If someone wants to put it on the tracker, it will be
less likely to be forgotten about.
