The bug

The hand-drawn bullet in the markdown list styles used a descendant selector (ul li:before), so any list item with a ul ancestor got the dot — including items of an ol nested inside a ul. A structure like ol → ul → ol rendered its innermost items with both the number and a bullet dot ("1• item").

The partial is shared by limel-markdown and the text editor (limel-prosemirror-adapter), so both the feed's rendered view and the editor showed the artifact. It surfaced now that list conversion from the toolbar makes mixed nesting easy to produce (#4222).

The fix

Use the child combinator (ul > li) so the custom bullet (and the item margin that came with it) only applies to items whose own list is unordered.

Example

Adds limel-example-markdown-nested-lists and limel-example-text-editor-lists, covering mixed ol/ul nesting in both directions, including inside a blockquote — rendered and editable respectively.

The pull request adds nested-list examples for Markdown and TextEditor. It registers both examples in component documentation and updates unordered-list styling to target only direct child items.

Changes

Nested list support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Markdown nested-list rendering
src/components/markdown/examples/markdown-nested-lists.tsx, src/components/markdown/partial-styles/_lists.scss, src/components/markdown/markdown.tsx
Adds a Markdown example with nested ordered, unordered, and blockquoted lists. The unordered-list selector now targets only direct child items. The example is registered in the Markdown documentation.
TextEditor nested-list example
src/components/text-editor/examples/text-editor-lists.tsx, src/components/text-editor/text-editor.tsx
Adds a TextEditor example with nested list content, editor state updates, value preview, and documented list interactions. The example is registered in the TextEditor documentation.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 34232

The PR adds mixed-list examples and shared styling, but the new text-editor example still does not use the required Host wrapper, which may prevent it from conforming to the component rendering contract. Merge should wait for this structure issue to be corrected or explicitly accepted.
