Problem
The NEWS.md file generated by the notes2news.pl script contains inconsistent markdown list indentation that violates markdownlint rule MD007.
Markdownlint Violations
Multiple lines in NEWS.md (lines 377-417) show indentation errors:
- Expected: 2 spaces for nested bullets
- Actual: 4 spaces for nested bullets
Example violations:
377-377: Unordered list indentation - Expected: 2; Actual: 4 (MD007)
381-381: Unordered list indentation - Expected: 2; Actual: 4 (MD007)
382-382: Unordered list indentation - Expected: 2; Actual: 4 (MD007)
Root Cause
If NEWS.md is generated by the notes2news.pl script, then the script needs to be updated to emit consistent 2-space indentation for nested markdown list items.
Solution
Modify notes2news.pl to:
- Use 2-space indentation for each nested level in markdown lists
- Ensure sub-bullets under top-level bullets are prefixed with exactly two spaces
- Maintain consistency across all generated markdown content
