List items are not indented correctly

Given a note that looks like this in Evernote:

Note export looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE en-export SYSTEM "http://xml.evernote.com/pub/evernote-export3.dtd">
<en-export export-date="20201010T165755Z" application="Evernote Legacy" version="Evernote Mac 7.14.1 (458325)">
    <note>
        <title>ListTest</title>
        <content><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE en-note SYSTEM "http://xml.evernote.com/pub/enml2.dtd"><en-note><ul><li><div>Level1</div></li><ul><li><div>Level2</div></li><ul><li><div>Level3</div></li></ul></ul></ul><div><br /></div></en-note>]]></content>

        <note-attributes>
            <latitude>60.5566790535642</latitude>
            <longitude>24.98012759429327</longitude>
            <altitude>67.66667938232422</altitude>
            <author>Martin Hähnel</author>
            <source>desktop.mac</source>
            <reminder-order>0</reminder-order>
        </note-attributes>
    </note>
</en-export>

The note itself here as a more nicely rendered version:

<!DOCTYPE en-note SYSTEM "http://xml.evernote.com/pub/enml2.dtd">
<en-note
  ><ul>
    <li><div>Level1</div></li>
    <ul>
      <li><div>Level2</div></li>
      <ul>
        <li><div>Level3</div></li>
      </ul>
    </ul>
  </ul>
  <div><br /></div
></en-note>

After running a command like this:

npm run start -- --enexSource=./ListNote.enex --outputDir=./out/ --includeMetadata

We get a markdown file that looks like this:

# ListTest
*   Level1
    

*   Level2
    

*   Level3

What it should have been instead:

# ListTest
*   Level1
    *   Level2
        *   Level3

See also laurent22/joplin-turndown#14. The problem is that the ENML here is not valid HTML and is therefore not converted correctly. But we are dealing with ENML not HTML.

Hi @finn-matti ! Yes, I think you're right, as Yarle promises to convert ENML to MD, then it has to do it, even if Evernote breaks an HTML-rule during generating ENML files. Thank you for raising this up, and I see that you raised it in joplin-turndown's and turndown's board as well, cool. I investigate how I could fix this, probably by adding and extra rule to turndown.

@akosbalasko I'm working on a PR right now. So please don't work too hard/quickly. 😄

:D Wow! Thanks a lot @finn-matti !
