Paragraphs underneath list points not recognized in Markdown

How can I create paragraphs underneath list points in Markdown?

The following Markdown code does not do what it’s supposed to do:

- test

  blah

In almost any Markdown renderer, blah renders as a paragraph underneath the bullet point test. However, when rendering with Hugo (not sure what it uses internally), I get the following output in my browser:

The HTML also looks like <ul><li>test</li></ul><p>blah</p>.

For reference, here’s my full code for the post:

---
title: 'List Point Test'
subtitle: ''
summary: List Point Test
authors:
- your-username

tags:
- test
date: "2019-10-15T00:00:00Z"
lastmod: "2019-10-15T00:00:00Z"
featured: true
draft: false
---

- test

  blah

System:

  • Hugo:

    Hugo Static Site Generator v0.58.3/extended windows/amd64 BuildDate: unknown
    GOOS=“windows”
    GOARCH=“amd64”
    GOVERSION=“go1.13”

  • OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

  • Theme: academic

You need 4 spaces starting from `-` up to your paragraph.

- test

    blah

PS: I can’t believe it was so simple :slight_smile:
