List parsing requests about mistletoe HOT 5 CLOSED

Should be fixed! Two spaces or more make a sublist. Will include in the next release (I'm thinking some time around end of this month?)

Ah, I might have to fix it over the weekend, since my hands are a bit tied with work. And yes, the reasons you gave are correct.

Preliminary thoughts about (2): CommonMark does not allow less than 4 spaces of indent, and GitHub does not allow less than 2. I'm leaning towards following the GFM convention here, and not allowing only 1 space before sublists. There could be lazy-continuation lines that start with a space (they shouldn't do that, but one space also does not give enough visual cue that the current line is in a sublist.)

What do you think?

If you want, I can try and make a PR for this, I just always feel like you can fix stuff much quicker ;-).

Regarding 2: I completely agree that it is unnecessary to recognize single space indent for new sublists. I am somewhat biased here since I would really like 2 space indent to work, and I find it visually appealing when editing the Markdown source. However, let me also say that if you want to enforce CommonMark, that would be completely legitimate and understandable.

This is taking me longer to fix because lists are complicated to parse 😞 Will report back with hopefully more cheerful news, but I am definitely working on both requests.

Thanks for the patience!

Again, I can only stress how grateful I am for the library and your quick response to requests. Please don't worry and take your time. Thanks again!
