You assume? Wrapping to the "proper" indent level is a highly subjective statement but line-wraps in Markdown in VS Code don't go back to the start of the line but to the level of indentation.

Am I wrong? To clarify, I'm not looking for a Markdown editor with a preview pane. I'd want to see proper soft wrapping in the editor pane itself.

Edit: I also want the line to to be indented past the number or bullet, e.g:

Right:

1. first line of text

   second line of text

Wrong:

1. first line of text

second line of text

The spec doesn't address line wrapping in editors: https://spec.commonmark.org/0.30/#indented-code-blocks

I imagine you could open a Github issue or even submit a PR if you don't like how a certain editor does word wrapping in Markdown lists. Personally I am not concerned with this detail.

You are correct, I was using proper in a highly subjective/opinionated way. It's just that I would prefer lists to be wrapped and indented the same way they would be in a rendered document, as I will only be reading these notes in my editor.
