I am an org-mode user for just a couple of days, and an emacs user for = four weeks today. Needless to say, I can't contribute anything useful to = this discussion.=20 The only thing(s) I would like to say is/are: (1) If it is not too complicated from a technical point of view, I would = strongly recommend to enable lists like (1), (2), etc. I gave some = reasons in one of my earlier e-mails in this thread. There are many more = (from a typography point of view, but also from a technical point of = view [e.g., if you have auto-pairing of parentheses enabled, it's just = more convenient.]).=20 (2) =46rom a LaTeX point of view, I am sure the experts here (and I mean = everyone in this thread except me) know the LaTeX package "enumitem". It = gives the greatest flexibility of creating lists I know of and behaves = better in many circumstances than other enumerate-like environments. So = I can only recommend using this approach for making lists (in which way = this is possible/desirable I can't tell since I'm not an org-mode = expert). I will certainly become a heavy org-mode user in the next months/years. = Lists like (1), (2),... I would definitely use a lot.
