Is there a way to nest unordered items in an ordered list in Rmarkdown?-CodePudding

Am trying to nested unordered list within ordered list but seemingly it does not appear to work as desired. The nested list realigns with the top level list-which is undesired? Any leads?

i. Item 1
ii. Item 2
iii. Item 3
  - Sub item 1
  - Sub item 2

CodePudding user response：

Yes, this this is possible and there are several ways. One approach is to use only "i" instead of "iii" as numbering is done automatically. And then use 4 spaces for indentation. Here an example, where the "lorem ipsum" is a dummy text to demonstrate line breaks and indentation of the result.
