Markdown reader: always use four space rule for example lists.
It would be awkward to indent example list contents to the first non-space character after the label, since example list labels are often long. Thanks to Bernhard Fisseni for the suggestion.

The label can be any string of alphanumeric characters, underscores,
or hyphens.
+Note: continuation paragraphs in example lists must always
+be indented four spaces, regardless of the length of the
+list marker. That is, example lists always behave as if the
+`four_space_rule` extension is set. This is because example
+labels tend to be long, and indenting content to the
