Markdown in Azure Pipelines Summary File

Question

I have a task in my pipeline that uploads some markdown with a summary

##vso[task.uploadsummary]c:\testsummary.md

The markdown looks like this

Summary
======
- Created resources: 0
- Deleted resources: 0
- Updated resources: 0
- Unchanged resources: 117
- Skipped resources: 1

Details
======
- Skipped detail
  - MSGraph/DeviceAppManagement/MobileApps:
    - AnyDesk

All this works fine but the Extensions tab with the markdown that shows up on my build summary does not correctly render my markdown with the indented/nested lists. All the bullets are at the same level. Is this just a bug in the DevOps markdown rendering? Or is there a way to work around?

Also, is there any way to get DevOps to include this summary in the notification email that gets sent out after the build?

Thanks.

This is really strange. I followed you and I got the same result. Additionally I created a file in Azure DevOps Wiki which was displayed in this way there:

I copied a content of this file to create it during pipeline and uplod it using logging command. It was displayed in that way there:

But I also published this file and download to my machine and I got this:

In my opinion this is something for developer community.
