Probably false detection of "MD007 Unordered list indentation"

[N0rbert]

Replication Case

Let's assume that we have code presented below:

# First header

Some text before list:

* orange;
* yellow.

Some steps:

1. List of colors:

    * Red
    * Green
    * Yellow

1. Third line

it renders normally here on GitHub and at least in ReText, MarkText, GhostWriter and RStudio.

Environment

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS was used with

MDL Version
0.9.0 as Snap

Expected Behavior

mdl does not show violation of any rules.

Actual Behavior

mdl shows the following:

lists.md:12: MD007 Unordered list indentation

Line 12 is * Red here.
It is nested inside numbered list item.
It does not have any connection with * orange or * yellow.
So I think it is a false detection.

am having the same issue. Even though the error is on the nested list of line 12 (* Red), i notice if i change the unordered list * orange and * yellow to ordered list 1. orange and 2. yellow, it works fine and passes

Fails on the indented list on * Red, with error message MD007 Unordered list indentation:

# First header

Some text before list:

* orange;
* yellow.

Some steps:

1. List of colors:

    * Red
    * Green
    * Yellow

2. Third line

Works fine:

# First header

Some text before list:

1. orange;
2. yellow.

Some steps:

1. List of colors:

    * Red
    * Green
    * Yellow

2. Third line

Above is a silly minimal reproducible example, the real content of my document was different. I do not plan to change writing style to satisfy the linter, even if linter is good overall :)

i know! My content is different as well, however similar structure as the example you posted and same error.
I'm not asking you to change your writing style to satisfy the linter 😑.... i'm just reiterating that I also hit the bug and my work around for it - might help the devs debug and fix it :)

Any updates on this? I'm also experiencing this bug

[jaymzh]

Nope, sorry, I have been slammed at work and haven't had time to work on this.

[amartin3225]

No problem, thanks for the update!

Still happens with document from the first comment.

mdl 0.12 is still affected by this bug:

$ mdl test.md 
test.md:12: MD007 Unordered list indentation

A detailed description of the rules is available at https://github.com/markdownlint/markdownlint/blob/master/docs/RULES.md
$ mdl --version
0.12.0

While remark shows no problems with above file:

$ remark --no-stdout test.md 
test.md: no issues found

$ remark --version
remark: 14.0.2, remark-cli: 11.0.0

Please fix this issue in the master branch of mdl.

The issue is still open. What made you believe it is fixed?

I haven't had much time to work on this project but I have been reviewing PRs as they come in. If you want to submit one I'll be happy to review it.
