Hi, great tool.

I'm having trouble settings sublists.

Here is what I am trying:

{
  "MD004": { "style": "sublist" }
}

I would expect this to allow for the following:

*  Level 1
  + Level 2
    - Level 3

But this gets changed to the following on save:

-  Level 1
  - Level 2
    - Level 3

What am I doing wrong?

That configuration should not report any violations via markdownlint. You can confirm that here: https://dlaa.me/markdownlint/#%25m%23%20Issue%20313%0A%0A*%20Level%201%0A%20%20%2B%20Level%202%0A%20%20%20%20-%20Level%203%0A%0A%3C!--%20markdownlint-configure-file%20%7B%20%22MD004%22%3A%20%7B%20%22style%22%3A%20%22sublist%22%20%7D%20%7D%20--%3E%0A

What editor are you using and what tool, extension, or plug-in is applying those edits when you save the document?

I see. I think Prettier is overriding things. Thanks.

How did you fix it, with prettier rc or eslintrc?
