Wrong indented numbered list formatting in wiki

[mrovner@…]

Indented list not formatted properly:

 1. item 1
 1. item 2
   1. item 2.1
   1. item 2.2
 1. item 3
   a. item 3.a
   a. item 3.b
 1. item 4
  1. item 4.1

is rendered as:

1. item 1
2. item 2
   1. item 2.1
   2. item 2.2
3. item 3
   1. item 3.a
   2. item 3.b
4. item 4
   1. item 4.1

Because there's no support for using anything but decimal numbers to denote an ordered list. I.e. lower-alpha letters won't work, and the documentation doesn't suggest that they should work as far as I can tell.

Currently, you'll have to use WikiRestructuredText if you want advanced options like that.

Well, HTML itself has supported ordered lists using "arabic numbers", "lower alpha", "upper alpha", "lower roman", and "upper roman":

… although style sheets are now recommended for such purposes.

It would be nice to have a "native" way of making simple ordered lists of these other types. Use of WikiRestructuredText is more confusing for novices, and might scare my manager away.

The patch I wrote for #2446 (attachment:ticket:2446:wiki_list_enhancements_r3014.diff​) also implements this feature.

Fixed in r3162.
