And I forgot (was reminded by a recent misunderstanding on this very
list), you should either

- write to the author of the syntax file so he changes it (in case
there was no good reason to put a limit on the number of spaces, but
that is quite unlikely);
- or write a markdown.vim syntax file yourself with something like:

source $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/markdown.vim
syn match markdownListMarker "\%(\t\| *\)[-*+]\%(\s\+\S\)\@="

In other words, don't modify the original markdown.vim itself,
otherwise your change will be deleted on updates.

Best,
Paul
