Bitbucket Markdown does not conform to the current CommonMark spec, per docs

    Description

      The BB markdown syntax guide (https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/markdown-syntax-guide-776639995.html) does not conform to the cited CommonMark specs with regard to nested lists. CommonMark allows for only 2 spaces for sub lists, however Bitbucket requires 4 spaces. This creates significant output formatting issues when bringing in documents from other sources (most of which only use 2 spaces for sub lists).

      Some examples of significant organizations that follow the two-space rule:

      • Stack overflow
      • GitHub
      • CommonMark

      Please fix the requirement and add Bitbucket to the list.


      * item 1
      * item 2
        * sub-item 1
        * sub-item 2
      * item 3
      

      should properly render a nested list under item 2
