Rmarkdown Slidy indented lists - html

Question

I use Rmarkdown with slidy mostly. I like it because I can use html tags outside of r code chunks (perhaps it is do-able in other formats, no idea). However I run into trouble with indented lists.
---
title: "Test"
author: "Me"
date: "Today"
output:
slidy_presentation
---
## Test Slide
<ul>
<li>One Bullet Point
</ul>
This works like a charm.
Output (html):
<div id="test-slide" class="slide section level2">
<h1>Test Slide</h1>
<ul>
<li>
One Bullet Point
</ul>
</div>
However:
## Test Slide Indented
<ul>
<li>One Bullet Point
<ul>
<li>One Indented Bullet Point
</ul>
</ul>
Causes trouble. Output (html again):
<div id="test-slide-indented" class="slide section level2">
<h1>Test Slide</h1>
<ul>
<li>
One Bullet Point
<ul>
<pre><code> <li>One Indented Bullet Point</code></pre>
</ul>
</ul>
</div>
And thus "list within the list" appears as a code chunk rather than an indented list in the html document.

Answer 1

You have four spaces preceding the line with the list element. This means that pandoc will interpret that line as a code chunk. As far as I know there's no option to prevent this, so you will need to remove the indenting before the html tags.

I will also point out that markdown supports nested lists so there's no need to use html tags in your example:
- One bullet point
+ One indented bullet
