Troubleshooting

The first or second Tab level does not look indented

Make sure styles.css is installed beside main.js and manifest.json, then disable and re-enable the plugin once.

Obsidian normally interprets 1. as a Markdown list marker and four leading spaces as a list continuation or indented code. Version 0.3.1+ decorates only recognized numbering lines and neutralizes those built-in visual offsets.

Tab inserts spaces or another plugin handles it

1. Confirm the line matches the parser and ends its prefix with a final period.
2. Temporarily disable other list or outline plugins to identify the conflict.
3. Re-enable them one at a time. Nested Ordered Numbering captures recognized lines before common highest-priority editor keymaps, including Outliner.

Ctrl+P opens the Command Palette

That is normal Obsidian behavior. Search for Nested Ordered Numbering in the palette, or assign custom shortcuts under Settings → Hotkeys.

Existing numbers are inconsistent

Place the cursor inside the block and run Renumber nested ordered block. Legacy four-space and tab indentation is normalized to two raw spaces per hierarchy level.

Shift+Tab does not indent further

Shift+Tab always outdents. To indent with Tab, the hierarchy must have a valid preceding item that can become the parent or previous sibling. The plugin refuses to create an orphaned depth.

Report a problem

Open a bug report and include:

• Obsidian version and theme;
• plugin version;
• other list/outline plugins enabled;
• a minimal text example;
• expected and actual results.
