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?
