# Nested markdown list doesn’t work w/ Jetpack

 * TL;DR
 * Nested markdown list with ‘-‘ and number mixed doesn’t parse properly.
 * TS;DR
 * In order to use markdown, I switched using from WP-Markdown plugin to Jetpacks
   Markdown feature.
 * I turned on the markdown feature at the Jetpack settings and it basically works.
 * But I notice that, if the list is nested with ‘-‘(`<ul>`) and numbers(`<ol>`)
   it seems that it’s not working properly.
 * For example:
 * >  1. One
   >  – Uno – Ichi 1. Two – Dos – Nii
 * The markdown above Jetpack parses as below:
 * >  1. One
   >  2. Uno 3. Ichi 4. Two 5. Dos 6. Nii
 * And I believe that it has to parse some like below:
 * >  1. One
   >  ・Uno ・Ichi 2. Two ・Dos ・Nii
 * Is it a specification limit or am I writing wrong?

 * [@keinos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keinos/) It seems that Jetpack’s
   Markdown feature doesn’t work in the same way as WP Markdown. When nesting an
   unordered list inside an ordered list in WordPress core, you’ll see this same
   restart to the numbering.
 * Jetpack’s Markdown module simply overlays markdown capabilities on top of WordPress
   core functionality, so this is expected behavior.
 * If you’re able to nest and unordered list properly inside an ordered list with
   WP Markdown, then that would be a better option for you in this case.
 * I hope that helps!
