I'm fine with editing most of the content with HTML,
but it's no fun for tables and nested lists.

Is there an input filter for Drupal 6, which allows me to create nested lists with a syntax like this:

* foobar
* acme
** acme nested
** dum di dum
* john doe

(and with # for ordered lists)

I don't want to indent the nested list points with spaces.

This filter should co-exist with direct HTML input.

You can try the dev version of twikifilter (has limited table support, no sorting) or create your own filter with flexifilter (supports regex).

This isn't exactly the format you want, but it's close. Otherwise you might want to try a WYSIWYG editor like FCKEditor or TinyMCE.

   * Blah
      * Blah
   * Blah

Would turn into

  • Blah
    • Blah
  • Blah

Thanks for your answer, mradcliffe.

So twikifilter uses

* Blah
  * Blah
* Blah

do I understand you correct?
If yes, that is - as mentioned ("I don't want to indent the nested list points with spaces.") - exactly the way I don't want to format nested lists :)

Otherwise you might want to try a WYSIWYG editor like FCKEditor or TinyMCE.

I don't want to use a WYSIWYG editor,
I only need this little markup for nested lists =)

I'll look into flexfilter, although I can't imagine right now, how to create(?) a syntax manually .. hmm.
