Incorrect "Incorrect list-item indent: add 2 spaces (remark-lint:list-item-indent)"

[jpluimers]

In Atom.io, the below markdown incorrectly throws "Incorrect list-item indent: add 2 spaces (remark-lint:list-item-indent)" warnings.

How can I track this down on a plain console/terminal with a small demo file?

# Heading 1

## List at left margin

- one
- two
  - two.one

## List indented two

  - one
  - two
    - two.one

## results

Hi Jeroen, you can configure rules, see the examples for this rule on how to configure your preferred style!

This is with defaults in atom.io, so I was wondering why it fails with those.

[wooorm]

tab-size is safer across markdown flavours: it makes sure that nested indented code blocks work the same everywhere!

If you’re in atom, you should be able to configure it. Or use linter-remark directly!

Could it also check the the current settings and warn about more reasonable defaults?

Note to anyone seeing this error: Apparently the default configuration requires 3 spaces between the bullet character and the text. So it doesn't seem to really be about indentation (as I understand it). Changing from this:

* One
* Two
* Three

to this:

*   One
*   Two
*   Three

fixed it for me. I had to determine this experimentally since the documentation doesn't seem to mention it.

(I don't run remark-link in my own environment, but it was enabled by default in Codacy (auto-checker for pull requests), and I thought it would be easier and better to conform to default style guidelines rather than try to figure out how to change the configuration.)
