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.

There, that's better.

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.
https://soylentnews.org/~takyon/journal/2300 [soylentnews.org]
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.
