The margin between the second and first level points is rendered smaller than between the first and second level points. This happened also on issues, releases, Pull request and wiki pages; Everywhere you can use markdown.

Hello, I am experiencing this issue too. The only difference is I'm using SQLite.

Having the nested points looking like they are part of their parent point would definitely be nicer, so I'm all for this fix :D

So up until very recently Github would render this exactly the same - I know because I have commented on another issue reporting the same problem.

This would be very simple to solve after looking at the less.

@nostachio commented on GitHub (Dec 1, 2020):

This seems to be expected behavior for markdown; checking a few other renderings outside of gitea, the behavior is the same:

Your example is rendering with the extra space because the blank line in between the heading and the list causes the list items to be wrapped in paragraph tags:

The formatting solution is to remove the blank line between the heading and the list like so and the items are no longer wrapped in paragraph tags:

I'd recommend closing this and tagging with reviewed/not-a-bug or similar.

@nostachio Thanks for the comparisons!

I'm going to close this issue based on the above. If we do want to change how the grouping looks, I'd prefer a new proposal issue to track any CSS/Less changes needed. 🙂

Here are some comparison links/images on try.gitea.io illustrating the suggested markdown change from @nostachio.
