I can't find how to do this with markdown syntax.

  • sub-text 1

    • sub sub text 1

  • sub sub text 1

    • sub-text 2

• text 2 ...

Could you help me ?

Hi @Mélanie Liguet 

You should be able to do this:

* text 1
** sub-text 1
*** sub sub text 1
* text 2
** sub-text 2
*** sub sub text 2

Hi @Mark Segall 

I am trying to update comment body using JIRA rest API, everything works fine but text indent is not working.

*text* is making the text bold 

\n is creating new line

but I want the next line to start 1 tab space from the previous line

For Ex:

This is my first line

         Here my second line should Start

If I use \t that is printing the \t as it is instead of the tab space.

Thanks in advance.
