Editing behavior

  • Press Enter on an empty list item to exit the list.
  • Press Tab / Shift-Tab to indent or outdent list items.
  • Task list checkboxes can be toggled in the preview where supported.

Tips

  • Nested lists require consistent indentation (typically four spaces or one tab per level).
  • Ordered list numbers do not need to be sequential; the renderer normalizes them.
