Decisions, decisions

I’ve been missing being able to mark up alphabetical lists with discount, and have added a(nother) horrible little hack to it for alpha lists; If I do

a. this
b. is a
c. test, eh?

It should resolve to

  1. this
  2. is a
  3. test, eh?

I’m not overly happy with the a./b./c. prefix (it doesn’t look like a natural list prefix to me – I’m used to doing things like a)/b)/c) ) but it does have the decided benefit of looking rather like what my local web browser produces after it processes an alphabetic list, and, just as importantly, it’s like the way numeric lists are defined in markdown.

So I’ll put it into discount for a while, but make it difficult to get to, and see if there’s anything about it that will cause discount to go all gcc on me.
