Nested list with st.markdown

Hi, As unbelievable as it is, I couldn’t create a nested list using st.markdown. Here is the most basic I tried:

- A
  - a
- B 

which should yield:

• A
  • a
• B

, but instead gives a flat list. Neither one space, nor two spaces, tab key, or \t worked. A minimal working example is highly appreciated.

Many thanks

I get it now. So this works:

"""
* Fruit
  * Apple
* Orange
  * Banana
* Dairy
  * Milk
* Cheese
"""

, but this doesn’t:

 "* Fruit"
 "  * Apple"
 "* Orange"
 "  * Banana"

It means one cannot dynamically/programmatically create lists (not easily at least). One solution is to generate the string dynamically and then write it at once. The other way is to use unsafe HTML.

Many thanks Best

Many thanks. I totally agree that there is room for improvement here.

For now, I solved my problem by generating a string dynamically and then feeding it to st.markdown at once.
