The diff for this change is a bit ugly because I had to renumber the items in the list.

Markdown doesn't actually care what the number before the period is. These two lists render the same:

1. First, build the container image: `make build`. You can then:
2. Run all tests: `make clean tests`
3. Run a single test: `make clean generate-accounts test/<TEST NAME WITHOUT .bats SUFFIX>`
4. Run multiple unrelated tests: `make clean generate-accounts test/<TEST NAME WITHOUT .bats SUFFIX>,<TEST NAME WITHOUT .bats SUFFIX>` (just add a `,` and then immediately write the new test name)
5. Run a whole set or all serial tests: `make clean generate-accounts tests/parallel/setX` where `X` is the number of the set or `make clean generate-accounts tests/serial`

and

The latter makes for nicer diffs and editing. What do you think of changing every list in the docs to use the latter sort of list?

I suppose the downside is that the raw markdown is marginally less nice.

My preference is to keep the order explicit, we rarely need to make such changes. Diff quality in Github web UI isn't great but I think some other tools do a better job (eg: Meld) usually at rendering the relevant changes.

I also know that our docs generator mkdocs has some GFM compatibility issues. This is also a problem with formatters like Prettier which would break this part of the docs (I raised an issue upstream about it, but nothing has improved on that front AFAIK).

IIRC, one of those is that indented/nested lists need to be 4 spaces wide, anything less and it's treated at the same level, and increments the items with the same logic that you bring up.

Ah makes sense. 👍
