This request is a result of adding Org-mode support to Oddmuse. (See my
earlier mail that introduces Orgmuse).
When lists are "normalized", the sub-lists are introduced by varying
amout of spaces depending on the type of the parent list. It's 3 spaces
if the parent is numbered and 2 spaces if the parent is bulleted.
1. One
2. Two
- Bullet One
- Bullet Two
1. One
2. Two
Oddmuse wiki and possibly Usemod (and even other Wiki engines) do a
linear scan of text (much like what the old org-html.el used to do) and
emits HTML by looking at thing at point. Having the list items
introduced by varying amout of spaces makes the parser "more" stateful.
I was wondering whether there would be some interest in
1) To eliminate the separators - "." or ")" - in the numbered list
2) Enhance the list repair routine so that it will alway indent by 3 spaces.
With (1) above, the earlier list becomes,
1 One
2 Two
- Bullet One
- Bullet Two
1 One
2 Two
This gives a uniform indentation of 2 spaces.
With (2) or (3), the earlier list becomes,
1. One
2. Two
- Bullet One
- Bullet Two
1. One
2. Two
This gives an indentation of 3 spaces. The 3 spaces could either be
mandated by the canonical Org-markup spec or it could be ensured by the
author of Org document himself (by using the proposed new repair option)
