Powers-that-lurk:
Tried to incorporate an <ol> list in a post today, but it failed to work properly. I wrote:
<ol type="A">
<li>Thing</li>
<li>Another thing</li>
</ol>
What I got:
1. Thing
2. Another thing
What I should have gotten:
A. Thing
B. Another thing
I request that you fix the tag so that this works. I presume the original HTML tag construct is preferable to allowing limited CSS styles, but if that was also available, that'd be okay too. I'm also making the assumption that CSS styles are not currently available, which I suppose could be wrong. :)
If you're in there making <ol> work anyway, probably should also address "start=X" and "reversed" as well.
One of the things I really like about Soylent is that it works better than That Other Place. More, please.
Thanks.

You could partake in the necessary damage to your brain so that you too are fluent enough in perl to fix it too.
In all seriousness, maybe you should add something at the bug tracker [github.com]? Judging by the HTML of what I get back, the code strips out the "type" attribute (which, in general, is probably a good idea for attributes). May not be that hard to fix, depending on how the filter code works.

Appreciate the recruiting but it's not a perl thing in this case. Attributes for html tags have to be specifically allowed within the database, which I just took care of.
Unfortunately it appears list-style for ol li tags within commentBodys is also specifically stated as decimal in our css for some reason. I've put a temporary fix in but it'll also need to be updated in the source tree.

Odd, it appeared fine in preview...

Just fyi: It's showing up as "1. First", "2. Second" here, even though the source has "type='A'".

Almost certainly a cached CSS file. Should clear up eventually or you can force refresh. Double checked in six browsers and I get A/B in all of them.

Thanks, force-refresh solved the issue.
Thanks for testing extensively, despite the likelihood of PEBKAC.

Wow, I get to add a new button (A. List) to my extension.

You have a SoylentNews extension for browsers? Do tell! Chromium or Firefox?

It's a userscript so it works on both.

It adds all of the features described here: https://soylentnews.org/comments.pl?noupdate=1&sid=12471&cid=312966#commentwrap [soylentnews.org]
as well as a spoiler button, title case button for journals, and a button that cycles through *New* comments.
For the next version, I'll probably add this new ordered list button, and more symbol crap, like the country code flags that realDonaldTrump [soylentnews.org] uses. I'll add a couple of exceptions to the title case button, like "iPhone" instead of "IPhone" which has been an issue forever. And that's all I can think of because it is pretty complete.

Mind you, this fix is only for comments.
