Creating sub-lists with Wagtail RichText streamfield

I'm building a website using the Wagtail CMS for Django. I'm currently using a RichText streamfield block to add content to a page. Content editors can use the list icon in the WYSIWYG editor to add a list to a page. However, as a content editor, I'm not sure how to add a sublist to an unordered list. E.g.

  • one list item
  • two list items
    • one sublist item
    • two sublist items
  • three list items

In other WSYSIWYG editors (like Google docs and etherpad) I would start a sublist by hitting tab. Hitting tab seems to move the focus away from the RichText streamfield. Adding spaces after a bullet doesn't seem to help either. How do wagtail developers expect content editors to create sub-lists?

I can just copy-paste from an HTML page that has an unordered list, but that may baffle my less-technical content editors. I love how user-friendly the Wagtail web interface is, and this is the first "huh?" moment I've had.

Wagtail now uses Draftail, and nested lists are now available by doing what you tried with the old editor: cursor onto the line you want to indent, and use Tab or Shift + Tab to indent or outdent the line.
