The code makes use of the CONTENTS.
If you have nested lists
- item
- sub-item
- sub-sub-item
"sub-sub-item" transcoder will receive CONTENTS="sub-sub-item" and return
- sub-sub-item
then, "sub-item" transcoder will receive CONTENTS="sub-item" + output of
nested transcoder -
CONTENTS=
sub-item
- sub-sub-item
and add 4 spaces to each line, except first:
- sub-item
- sub-sub-item
then, item transcoder will receive the result of the two nested
transcoders:
CONTENTS=
item
- sub-item
- sub-sub-item
yielding
- item
- sub-item
- sub-sub-item
Hope, it clarifies things.
