Indenting a list entry in markdown

Question

I am not sure if there is a correct way to do this in markdown. I have some text as below

* lorem ipsum dola sit amet a hungry dog--
  * hungry dog;
  * dog hungry;  
both dogs are hungry

Rendering looks like this:

lorem ipsum dola sit amet a hungry dog--

hungry dog;

dog hungry;
both dogs are hungry

"both dogs are hungry" is a continuation of the sentence before the sublist. I want that text to be aligned with the word 'lorem' rather than the sublist (currently, it is using a line break to appear below the list). Is this possible?

What is your expected output? Are you using a processor like Pandoc? — Khalid Hussain, Apr 28 '22 at 23:07
The question was edited. I am using Hugo which uses Goldmark by default. But Pandoc is also supported via configuration. — user18336975, Apr 29 '22 at 08:41

If I understood correctly, the following is the required markdown source if using Pandoc:

- lorem ipsum dola sit amet a hungry dog--

hungry dog;
dog hungry;

both dogs are hungry

There are two spaces before the two dashes as well as the phrase “both dogs are hungry”. The following is the HTML5 output from Pandoc:

And the output's source:

<ul>
<li><p>lorem ipsum dola sit amet a hungry dog–</p>
<ul>
<li>hungry dog;</li>
<li>dog hungry;</li>
</ul>
<p>both dogs are hungry</p></li>
</ul>

You know, this site runs on markdown. So you can actually just set the markdown as described and the text will render as expected and shown in your pic. – Giacomo1968 Apr 28 '22 at 23:34
There will be other lists below the example. I use Hugo which uses Goldmark by default. – user18336975 Apr 29 '22 at 09:08
