Bullet point indentation is broken in v2.8

Author: MaspitalCreated Mar 27, 2026Updated Sep 8, 2026

After upgrading to version 2.8, indentation of bullet points within a highlight section no longer works. Could this be related to this fix?

Markdown lines are now processed independently to prevent cross-line emphasis interference (https://github.com/rendercv/rendercv/issues/685).

Can be verified with any of the example YAML files, specifically the section
