nested ordered lists should switch numbering scheme from numbers to letters for the inner list #1928

Closed virginiaMae closed 1 year ago

Similar to standard document outlining conventions:

  1. (parent list using numbers by default) a. (nested list using letters) i. (etc...)

Should this be configurable or just always set to a particular pattern? Maybe make the default be whatever you get in Pretext.

We should keep track of "level" in DoenetML (like we do for nested sections) so that an empty <ref> to a <li> could display the correctly formatted number/letter. (It currently displays ???, so we should fix that or make a separate issue if we fix the numbering scheme but not the ???.)

I think we should start by matching the PreTeXt schema as a default, and add in configurable features in the future. If I'm reading this correctly, the second issue is for empty list items. I agree that it should display the number and/or letter, but not the ???. It feels like it should be acceptable to have an empty list item that retains the default list formatting.

My previous comment was broken because I forgot to escape the word <ref>, which means it didn't display. I was referring to how an empty <ref> to an <li> displays as a ???. An empty <li> should work fine.
