Description

Can we add multi-level list support in tables?

For example,

| Category | Menu |
| --- | --- |
| Drinks |

  • Coffee
  • Tea
    • Black tea
    • Green tea
  • Milk
|

Is there an easier way to write something like this, probably without using the html tags?

Research direction

Start by reviewing MacDown's Markdown table and list handling to determine where nested list support is parsed or rendered. Compare the requested table example with the current behavior, then define the supported non-HTML syntax and verify that nested lists render correctly inside table cells.
