There needs to be a way of defining ordered lists that use something other than 1,2,3. e.g. 01, 02, 03... / i., ii., iii... / A, B, C, etc.
I don't think we'd add new syntax for this, as it's doable through existing HTML and CSS. See documentation for the CSS list-style or list-style-type properties, there are many options: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/list-style-type You can either put the styles into global stylesheets like MediaWiki:Common.css or you can manually put a style attribute on an HTML list element: <ol style="list-style: decimal-leading-zero"> <li> shows 01. <li> shows 02. <li> shows 03. </ol> <ol style="list-style: lower-roman"> <li> shows i. <li> shows ii. <li> shows iii. </ol> Note that in the inline style case, you may need to use <li> explicitly rather than #/* markup. In the CSS stylesheet case, you can reference the list by wrapping it in a div or something, in which case you can just use the existing # syntax for ordered lists: In CSS: .list-roman ol { list-style: lower-roman } In page: <div class="list-roman"> # shows i. # shows ii. # shows iii. </div>
