HTML lists

Journal by fyngyrz

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.

    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.

    1. First
    2. Second

    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.
