list cleaning changes display

Given:

- Possible options for the first argument:
  - adapter
    - defaults to `wildfire.adapters.Memory`
  - httpServer
    - defaults to creating a new http server
    - if this option is not provided, you must call `.listen()`

this will change it to

which displays differently (adds a bunch of space between items)

Hmm might not be this plugin, I disabled it and this is still happening. This is a 100% fresh install with no other plugins installed. wat?

It is definitely this plugin. I have no others which do markdown formatting and when I installed this one today, the same started happening to me. The main issue here is, that it only indents by 2 spaces instead of 4 or a tab. I am not sure what the specification says about the amount of spaces needed for indention of a sublist, but when I compile a markdown file formatted by this plugin using pandoc, sublists are no sublists, but regular list items. When I manually increase the indention to 4 spaces or a tab (which is easier anyway) the resulting PDF file is correct, meaning that there are sublists.

There is also an issue with numbered lists, which under circumstances can suddenly become unordered lists, when the cleaning happens.

I also have this problem. Really make's this plugin unusable for me.

Oh, there already is an issue for that... so +1 ;)

@hwroitzsch - the markdown spec is very loose when it comes to indentation. 2 spaces is fine, tabs are fine, 4 spaces are fine... etc. I'm not sure what pandoc is getting wrong (though I'd be happy to help you debug if you post the command you used & contents of the file).

As for the issue with numbered lists, I think you're talking about this issue: notslang/tidy-markdown#11

@slang800 - Sorry, it was some time ago, I don't know anymore what was the exact command I used. I'd guess however, that I didn't use any of Pandoc's extensions back then and used some pandoc template. So the command was probably something like this:
pandoc --read=markdown --table-of-contents --toc-depth=2 --preserve-tabs --latex-engine=xelatex --standalone --template=template.tex inputfile.md -o outputfile.pdf
