Re: Comments within a list

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

This works:

- this is top 1
     - this is sub 1.1
     - this is sub 1.2
       <!-- - going to think about 1.3 for a bit -->
     - this is sub 1.4
- this is top 2
     - this is sub 2.1
     - this is sub 2.2
     - this is sub 2.3

You can also try -f commonmark or -f commonmark_x or -f gfm.

That will split 1.4 into a separate list, given the indentation
you have, but you can indent it as above if you don't want that.
