Bullet points in unsorted item list look all of the same level

Open silverhook opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

While I like the new(ish) > bullet points in unordered <ul> lists, reading any list of points that has more than one level is still awfully confusing and annoying.

This is still horrible to read:

Headline
> This is my first point
> something to say to that point (not indented!)
> actually my second bullet point

How about something like (or whichever characters that make the hierarchy even clearer):

Headline
> This is my first point
+ something to say to that point (2nd level)
- which comes down (3rd level)
- to another
- list of things
> actually my second bullet point

Thank you for the report and sorry for the late reply. I agree that it is not ideal how it is right now. I was wondering if adding a little bit of padding makes it better. Not sure if the different icons would make it perfectly clear what the nesting is. This would be my proposal: https://github.com/nextcloud/news-android/pull/1466

@David-Development , padding would be great. I was proposing different characters, because I assumed padding would not be acceptable.

Sorry for the delay.. Padding is fine as long as we control it and make sure that it doesn't break the whole layout (e.g. taking up too much space on smaller screens)

I'll release a new version in the next days!
