We can provide tools to fix existing documents. Actually, I like the idea of keeping only "-" and "1.". We could implement other bullet types as overlays. > Any chance you are willing to reconsider the decision to ignore > allow-alphabetical during export? I still agree with Carsten in the thread you pointed out. Org document is about structure. The bullet in about typesetting. > I think it would be very useful to have that.

The beauty of Org is also to allow to control different export targets in the same document. I think this is a non-issue. Regards, --=20 Nicolas Goaziou 0x80A93738
