Texinfo: better support for nested bullet lists
[pandoc 3.8.2.1]
Contrary to, say, LaTeX, Texinfo doesn't provide different marks for nested bullet lists automatically; they must be explicitly specified as an argument to @itemize, for example,
@itemize @minus{}
...
@end itemize
This MarkDown fragment from Pandoc's documentation
* fruits
+ apples
- macintosh
- red delicious
+ pears
+ peaches
* vegetables
+ broccoli
+ chard
gets converted to
@itemize
@item
fruits
@itemize
@item
apples
@itemize
@item
macintosh
@item
red delicious
@end itemize
@item
pears
@item
peaches
@end itemize
@item
vegetables
@itemize
@item
broccoli
@item
chard
@end itemize
@end itemize
It would be nice if the Texinfo writer could recognize nested itemize list, providing a proper argument to the corresponding @itemize environment.
Here are images showing the LaTeX and Texinfo renderings.
