help: How to apply padding to list for all levels?

Description

bullet = { left_pad = 4 }
applies padding to only first level not other levels

for exact calculation I want, (left_pad + 1 + right_pad)*(n-1) + left_pad for level n
if I configure left_pad = 4, right_pad = 0,

level 1 - indentation of 4
level 2 - indentation of 9
level 3 - indentation of 14 ...

Is there a way we can add this calculation as a function inside bullet configuration and make it work like I intend to?

So currently the padding is being applied to all list levels. It's just a uniform padding, i.e. 4 across all items. You want level dependent padding support?

Should be possible after this change: 98a3b7d

I'm not sure if I fully understood what you meant but this change lets left_pad & right_pad be functions with access to information like the level, as well as the index and the marker value.

From your example I believe this is what you want:

require('render-markdown').setup({
    bullet = {
        left_pad = function(ctx)
            return 5 * (ctx.level - 1) + 4
        end,
    },
})
