The fancy_lists extension allows various styles of ordered lists:

With period:

1. decimal
2. decimal
.
<ol>
<li>decimal</li>
<li>decimal</li>
</ol>

A.  upper alpha
B.  upper alpha
.
<ol type="A">
<li>upper alpha</li>
<li>upper alpha</li>
</ol>

a. lower alpha
b. lower alpha
.
<ol type="a">
<li>lower alpha</li>
<li>lower alpha</li>
</ol>

I.  Upper Roman
II.  Upper Roman
.
<ol type="I">
<li>Upper Roman</li>
<li>Upper Roman</li>
</ol>

i. Lower Roman
ii. Lower Roman
.
<ol type="i">
<li>Lower Roman</li>
<li>Lower Roman</li>
</ol>

With one parenthesis:

1) decimal
2) decimal
.
<ol>
<li>decimal</li>
<li>decimal</li>
</ol>

A)  upper alpha
B)  upper alpha
.
<ol type="A">
<li>upper alpha</li>
<li>upper alpha</li>
</ol>

a) lower alpha
b) lower alpha
.
<ol type="a">
<li>lower alpha</li>
<li>lower alpha</li>
</ol>

I)  Upper Roman
II)  Upper Roman
.
<ol type="I">
<li>Upper Roman</li>
<li>Upper Roman</li>
</ol>

i) Lower Roman
ii) Lower Roman
.
<ol type="i">
<li>Lower Roman</li>
<li>Lower Roman</li>
</ol>

With two parentheses:

(1) decimal
(2) decimal
.
<ol>
<li>decimal</li>
<li>decimal</li>
</ol>

(A)  upper alpha
(B)  upper alpha
.
<ol type="A">
<li>upper alpha</li>
<li>upper alpha</li>
</ol>

(a) lower alpha
(b) lower alpha
.
<ol type="a">
<li>lower alpha</li>
<li>lower alpha</li>
</ol>

(I)  Upper Roman
(II)  Upper Roman
.
<ol type="I">
<li>Upper Roman</li>
<li>Upper Roman</li>
</ol>

(i) Lower Roman
(ii) Lower Roman
.
<ol type="i">
<li>Lower Roman</li>
<li>Lower Roman</li>
</ol>

Note that with Upper Alpha or Upper Roman style list items followed by periods, we require at least two spaces after the list marker in order to avoid capturing initials:

B.  Russell

B. Russell

I.  J. Good

I. J. Good
.
<ol start="2" type="A">
<li>Russell</li>
</ol>
<p>B. Russell</p>
<ol type="I">
<li>J. Good</li>
</ol>
<p>I. J. Good</p>

A new list starts with any style change:

1. one
2) one
.
<ol>
<li>one</li>
</ol>
<ol start="2">
<li>one</li>
</ol>

1. one
a. one
.
<ol>
<li>one</li>
</ol>
<ol type="a">
<li>one</li>
</ol>

Variable start numbers should work with all types of lists:

b. two

(vi) six
.
<ol start="2" type="a">
<li>two</li>
</ol>
<ol start="6" type="i">
<li>six</li>
</ol>

In cases of ambiguity (such as 'v.', which could be lowercase Roman or lowercase alphabetical, we prefer an interpretation that continues an existing list:

u. one
v. two
.
<ol start="21" type="a">
<li>one</li>
<li>two</li>
</ol>

iv. one
v. two
.
<ol start="4" type="i">
<li>one</li>
<li>two</li>
</ol>

When ambiguities cannot be resolved this way, we prefer to interpret i. and I. as Roman numerals, and other single letters as alphabetical:

i. one
ii. two
.
<ol type="i">
<li>one</li>
<li>two</li>
</ol>

I.  one
.
<ol type="I">
<li>one</li>
</ol>

C.  one
CI.  one
.
<ol start="3" type="A">
<li>one</li>
</ol>
<ol start="101" type="I">
<li>one</li>
</ol>
