I don't think this is ever going to work unless you restrict either the
number of items or the types of enumeration.  But you could easily
normalize on export into those formats by indenting with a number of
tabs corresponding to the indent level.  That would look strange in a
buffer (unless you set the tab-width appropriately), but it would be
parseable more easily.  But Oddmuse is in Perl, so keeping a stack of
indents really isn't a big deal (and I don't think it'd be in other
languages like Python, PHP or Ruby).


Regards,
Achim.
