Markdown All in One Documentation

List editing

List continuation

Press Enter in a list item, and a proper list marker will be placed on the new line. If it's an ordered list, the numbers will be also updated. "Copy / Move Line Up / Down"open in new window are also handled.

To increase or decrease the list level, press Tab or Backspace after the first space following the list marker.

Adaptive indentation

By default, we try to determine indentation size for different list contexts according to the CommonMark Specopen in new window.

List items are left aligned with their parent's content. This usually means:

  • Bullet list items are indented by two spaces each level.

  • Ordered list items are indented by the width of their parent's list marker plus following spaces.

If you prefer a fixed size, please change the list.indentationSize setting:

"markdown.extension.list.indentationSize": "inherit"
1

Then, we will stick to VS Code's tab size, which is configured by the "Editor Indentation" in the Status Bar or the editor.tabSize setting.

Task list

GitHub Flavored Markdown task list is supported.

Alt + C (the markdown.extension.checkTaskList command) to check a task list item.
