Hi,
Guillaume was surprised (and rightly so) that we use this format for nested lists:
111*.
He was expecting 111.*
How come?
I remember I had the same remark the first time I saw this a long time ago.
Thus (if we agree) we have 2 solutions:
Solution 1: =========
111.*
-0.5, for me at least it is not intuitive at all.
Solution 2: ========
1.1.1.*
+0.25 A bit too long.
I'm in favor of this solution since it follows the usual pattern for lists :
* **
1. 1.1.
We could also have a simple dotless 1, like: 1 list item 1* subitem 1* subitem 1*1 numbered subitem 1*1 numbered subitem Of course this means that any non-list 1 at the start of the row should be escaped. Also, it is confusing with the old header syntax. If the dot's placement is not clear enough, we could use ), like: 1) item 1*) subitemitem 111) etc
thus making it easier for users to remember : indent one level = duplicate the symbol .
Guillaume
Another solution would be to use another symbol but we cannot use # and the second most common solution is "1." See http://www.wikimatrix.org/syntax.php?i=33
I'm hesitating but I propose to use Solution 2 which seems the most consistent to me.
WDYT?
Thanks -Vincent
