Description

When a list under a list is created in the markdown, it does not indent.

This is how list in GitHub behaves

List with Sub-lists

  • 1

    • 1.1
    • 1.2

  • 2

    • 2.1
    • 2.2

And this is how showdown renders

Examine the markdown parser code for nested list handling, find where indentation is lost, and add CSS or rendering logic to preserve it.
