to be conservative. Requiring three spaces is a slightly smaller change of the newly documented behaviour than four, compared to the existing undocumented one that someone out there *might* have relied on. > It "feels" like a reasonable number, but four spaces is the > magic cut-off point in all the other places where indentation > matters in Markdown. Yes, in terms of clarity of rules I would prefer requiring four. Since I can only make suggestions, I picked a conservative one. (I admit I should have specified my reasoning further.) If you as the one who makes the final call decree that four is the right number, I’ll be glad about that decision.
