Description
A user in #3185157-zen requested help with this so I was experimenting. I found that:
* It's possible to use spaces to create a nested list on iOS
* Markdown preview does not always correctly render nested lists
* Lists with more than two levels of nesting are collapsed
* HTML lists are stripped out (they work in web/Electron and publish)
Related: #274

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported cases in the iOS Markdown preview: space-indented nested lists, lists deeper than two levels, and HTML lists, then compare the behavior with web/Electron and publish. Done means the supported nesting behavior is consistent and the reported list content no longer collapses or gets stripped unexpectedly.
