List indentation with show rule but top-level doesn't change

[vmartel08]

Hi again,

Please don’t take the title of the cited post into account while reading my reply. I was answering considering each rule used separately as you are describing.

If you read through the post, you will find:

Default values are used at the point where the element is materialized. If you change them afterwards it’s too late:

// Works for future heading elements (they are not yet materialized)
#show heading: set heading(outlined: false)

// Doesn't work: the `it` heading is already materialized
#show heading: it => { set heading(outlined: false); it }

// Works: the content of the heading is not yet materialized
#show heading: it => { set text(purple); it }

I believe this is what is happening with your 3rd case, the show list: it => … The it list is already materialized with the default values and the rule is applied afterwards.
