Is it possible to set indent for QTextEdit's markdown content

[mamsds]

I am currently exploring QTextEdit's rendering of Markdown text. The problem is shown in the below image:

In the original plain text (bottom half), my "- Hello worldsd"'s indent is expected (well actually it is not indent, just some margin). But in the rendered textbox (top half), the indent becomes very large, occupying ~20% of the entire width of my QTextEdit.
My question is whether or not it is possible to make the indent smaller, ideally configurable.

Thanks,

@mamsds Welcome to the Qt forums.

I would start by looking at QTextEdit::tabStopDistance() to see if that adjusts the indenting depth of the lists.

Markdown is not WYSIWYG and you have asked for nested unordered lists, which it has given you. I do not consider that there is a problem here.

Hi @ChrisW67 , for tabStopDistance(), I actually checked it before posting. It doesnt help in this case.
On nested list argument, note that I was talking about the first line, i.e., * Hello worldsd line, the indent is large already. I am not specifically asking to tweak the indent of the 2nd line (i.e., * asd)

Turns out that it is possible, it is defined under the document member variable of QTextEdit:

ui->textEdit->document()->setIndentWidth(10);
