Paragraphs in nested items are not formatted correctly

[karelbilek]

Input:

1. foo
    1.  A paragraph
        with two lines.

        Continues
    2.           Second
    3. Third

Expected:

1.      foo

        1.      A paragraph with two lines.

                Continues
        2.      Second
        3.      Third

Actual behaviour:

1.      foo

        1.      A paragraph with two lines.

        Continues

        1.      Second
        2.      Third

This might be actually a parser (blackfriday) error, not sure.

I am taking CommonMark as the standard, with CommonMark, the input and expected are equivalent, the actual obviously not

[karelbilek]

Oh, now I realized the "continues" is interpreted as a code block, NOT as paragraph. That's different from CommonMark, that interprets it as a paragraph.

...I think

[karelbilek]

I really don't understand how is markdownfmt handling paragraphs inside lists. It makes no sense to me.

This does not format as a paragraph inside list

1. A paragraph

   is not

This does format as a paragraph inside list, even when the only difference is one more space.

1.   A paragraph

     is? Maybe?

[karelbilek]

The previous comment seems to be a blackfriday issue (blackfriday does not parse correctly)

The first issue seems to be markdownfmt issue (blackfriday parses the AST correctly, but markdownfmt does not print correctly)

[karelbilek]

But maybe not. Hard to debug, either way it's confusing

[karelbilek]

I think it's the same issue as #54 - that is, it behaves correctly and predictably if I use tabs and not spaces. But it does weird things when I use spaces.

I have "solved" this by forking the repo here (I'm not in the committer list as I used work email or something back then) and rewriting it to a different markdown parser (blackfriday -> goldmark)

https://github.com/Kunde21/markdownfmt

which now died too. Closing this though; the real solution is to use a different markdown parser, as I did in the forked repo
