Hello,

I have a list of paragraphs and want to make it a nested type for indexing.

My mapping looks like ::  
`"content_list" :{ "type" : "nested", "include_in_parent": true, "properties": { "para": { "type": "string" } } }`  
content\_list is a list of paragraphs. I want every element of this array to be a sub-document.  
Can anyone please help me ?

Thanks  
Siddharth.
