Subject: Ordered list items and the point
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2022 12:13:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2f2e5acc8b0f79bfdbb4978d5e51cf04@posteo.de> (raw)

This is about https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html#Plain_Lists

Comparing the syntax description and the real world behaviour of my 
Emacs 27 with org from yesterday it seems to me that the syntax 
description is not correct.

I cite "Plain Lists" section:
"If first item in a plain list has a COUNTER in its BULLET, the plain 
list will be an “ordered plain-list”."

This is not true in many ways because in the section "Items" a COUNTER 
is described as
"Either a number or a single letter (a-z)."

An ordered list item need to have a point after its digit. Correct is 
"1. item"; incorrect is "1 item". As an alternative to the "." an ")" is 
allowed also.

A letter is not a COUNTER no matter if there is an "." or ")" after it. 
An org-buffer and org-html-export-as-html does not recognize this as a 
list item.

Do I miss something? Are there any other characters that need to 
considered?
