When tabs are used (1 tab in this case), the reader doesn’t display the nested list correctly.

@WhiteNoise thanks.
This workaround works when files are opened directly. Numbering doesn’t work when note is embedded in another note. See screenshot attached.
It works, just padding-left should be wider 
It was:
.markdown-rendered ul,
.markdown-rendered ol {
padding-inline-start: var(--list-indent);
}
/*
--list-indent = 2em
*/
Should be:
.markdown-rendered ul,
.markdown-rendered ol {
padding-inline-start: 3em;
}
The workaround (pressing tab twice) is also not ideal because it creates inconsistency.
Items numbered below 99 only require one tab for sublist indentation. But when you get to item 100, two tabs are needed for its sublist. If you later delete items 50 to 99, item 100 would shift down to become item 50. However, its sublist would still be indented with two tabs instead of the expected one tab for items numbered below 99.
Any updates on this issue? This is a much needed feature for me.
