For tab indented list items nested under an ordered list, all lines of nested items need to be aligned with each other.

The difference with space indented items is that all nested list item lines must be aligned with their parent ordered list item.

For example, the following space indented list items render just fine:

1. Item 1
   |AAA|BBB|
   |---|---|
   |ccc|ddd|
2. Item 2
   - List item

So do the following:

99. Item 99
    |AAA|BBB|
    |---|---|
    |ccc|ddd|
100. Item 100
     > Blockquote

You could try only using 1. or any other single digit(s) for ordered lists. If you use the Markdown viewer (or split view), it automatically updates ordered list numbers.

You could also try using the Space Indenter plugin to set tab or space indent width as desired:

  • Tabs let multi-line elements render properly at any tab indent width. This works for short indents like what you posted, but might not be preferred if syncing with mobile clients.
  • Space indent width can be set to 3+ spaces to avoid this issue. Single digit ordered lists can make this even more consistent.
