Indenting with 2 spaces in 1.8.x

Bug graveyard

Thank you for opening the feature requests and pointing to the current limitation related to delimiter based indentation.

Indeed I have the “Show indentation guides” disabled in 1.7 due to issues with 2 spaces indentation.

I’m considering migrating to 4 spaces indentation. In case this can help someone, here’s a way to convert indentation using markdownlint-cli2 tool:

Create a .markdownlint-cli2.jsonc configuration in your vault with something like:

{
  "config": {
    "default": false,  // Disable all rules
    "MD007": {
      // Spaces for indent
      "indent": 4,
    }
  }
}

Run the markdown conversion with:

markdownlint-cli2 '**/*.md' --fix

Make sure to backup first. The conversion might not be perfect, and you may have to adjust the result.
