Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/160

I have a list ordered in the same format below but I get the MD004 error. Even if I copy the sublist example in the MD004, I still get the error.

* Item 1
  + Item 2
    - Item 3
  + Item 4
* Item 4
  + Item 5

That is correct behavior for the default MD004 configuration of “consistent“. For the example above to work you need to have changed that to “sublist”. Can you please confirm that you’ve done so and show the configuration you used?

Apologies. I was not aware I had to change the default setting. Now that I have done this, the feature works as expected.

Thank you for your attention.
