CommonMark: The content indent i… def calculate_content_indent(source: str, marker_stripped: str, marker_indent: int, line_offset: int) -> int Calculate the content indent for a list item. CommonMark: The content indent is the column position of the first non-space character after the marker. If the line is empty after the marker, it's marker_end_col + 1. Parameters Name Type Description source str The full source text marker_stripped str The marker with leading whitespace stripped marker_indent int The indent level of the marker line_offset int The offset in source where this token starts Returns int is_continuation_indent 3 bool ▼ Check if a line's indent qualifies as continuation content. CommonMark: Conten… def is_continuation_indent(line_indent: int, content_indent: int, start_indent: int) -> bool Check if a line's indent qualifies as continuation content. CommonMark: Content indented at least as much as the list item's content indentation is continuation content. Parameters Name Type Description line_indent int The indent of the line in question content_indent int The content indent of the current list item start_indent int The indent of the list's first marker Returns bool is_nested_list_indent 2 bool ▼ Check if a line's indent qualifies for starting a nested list. CommonMark: A l… def is_nested_list_indent(line_indent: int, content_indent: int) -> bool Check if a line's indent qualifies for starting a nested list. CommonMark: A list marker at content_indent or deeper can be a nested list. Parameters Name Type Description line_indent int The indent of the line in question content_indent int The content indent of the current list item Returns bool is_indented_code_indent 2 bool ▼ Check if a line's indent qualifies as indented code. CommonMark: Content inden… def is_indented_code_indent(line_indent: int, content_indent: int) -> bool Check if a line's indent qualifies as indented code. CommonMark: Content indented 4+ spaces beyond content_indent is indented code block. Parameters Name Type Description line_indent int The indent of the line in question content_indent int The content indent of the current list item Returns bool ← Previous fast_path Next → item_blocks List © 2026 Patitas built in ᓚᘏᗢ { "linkPreviews": { "enabled": true, "hoverDelay": 200, "hideDelay": 150, "showSection": true, "showReadingTime": true, "showWordCount": true, "showDate": true, "showTags": true, "maxTags": 3, "includeSelectors": [".prose"], "excludeSelectors": ["nav", ".toc", ".breadcrumb", ".pagination", ".card", "[class*='-card']", ".tab-nav", "[class*='-widget']", ".child-items", ".content-tiles"], "allowedHosts": [], "allowedSchemes": ["https"], "hostFailureThreshold": 3 } } window.BENGAL_LAZY_ASSETS = { tabulator: '/patitas/assets/js/tabulator.min.js', dataTable: '/patitas/assets/js/data-table.js', mermaidToolbar: '/patitas/assets/js/mermaid-toolbar.9de5abba.js', mermaidTheme: '/patitas/assets/js/mermaid-theme.344822c5.js', graphMinimap: '/patitas/assets/js/graph-minimap.ff04e939.js', graphContextual: '/patitas/assets/js/graph-contextual.355458ba.js' }; window.BENGAL_ICONS = { close: '/patitas/assets/icons/close.911d4fe1.svg', enlarge: '/patitas/assets/icons/enlarge.652035e5.svg', copy: '/patitas/assets/icons/copy.3d56e945.svg', 'download-svg': '/patitas/assets/icons/download.04f07e1b.svg', 'download-png': '/patitas/assets/icons/image.c34dfd40.svg', 'zoom-in': '/patitas/assets/icons/zoom-in.237b4a83.svg', 'zoom-out': '/patitas/assets/icons/zoom-out.38857c77.svg', reset: '/patitas/assets/icons/reset.d26dba29.svg' }; Arrow Up -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Metadata: - Word Count: 890 - Reading Time: 4 minutes
