Yes, but what I'm missing is that it also works for lists.

My fingers keep expecting TAB to fold and unfold lists and my head keeps
getting surprised when the list item is indented instead.

Yes... but that code fragment is based on indentation instead of
backtick marking (which seems to be the "modern" markdown way of doing
it...? I'm no markdown expert)

Not sure I understand how either of the two are supposed to work, so
hard to say if they would be acceptable or not...? :-)

Will they give the feeling of editing the lists in the markdown document
or will I have to switch out of in of a different buffer like for code
editing.

If the latter, then "not acceptable" feels too harsh, but maybe
something like "not exactly what I was looking for"...:-)
