Nested ordered lists?

Nested ordered lists?

[Peter Davis]

Is there any way to create nested, ordered lists in org-mode?

I'm thinking of something that would result in:

1) item 1
  a) item 1a
  b) item 1b
  c) item 1c
2) item 2
  a) item 2a
  b) item 2b
3) item 3
4) etc.
...

Thanks!

Yes!

(setq org-list-allow-alphabetical t)

Then insert

1) item 1     <= M-RET
2) ...

or

1) item 1
  a) item 1a  <= M-RET
  b) ...

HTH,

Thanks, Bastien, but I seem to be having a problem with this. I tried
setting the variable in my .emacs, but the help says it must be set
before org-mode loads. It then gives a line of code

(when (featurep 'org-element) (load "org-element" t t))

to set this in a running Emacs, but when I do this, I get

Symbol's value as variable is void: org-drawers

I tried customizing the variable, but the result is the same.

Thanks!

Ok, quitting and re-starting emacs has almost gotten it working. I'm
not getting the error, and I am getting nested lists, but all the
numbering is numeric.

My test file had

#+STARTUP: showeverything logdone
#+options: num:nil

1) item 1
   a) item 1a
   b) item 1b
   c) item 1c
2) item 2
   a) item 2a
   b) item 2b
3) item 3
4) etc.

but my html output had all list items numbered.

<ol class="org-ol">
<li>item 1
<ol class="org-ol">
<li>item 1a
</li>
<li>item 1b
</li>
<li>item 1c
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>item 2
<ol class="org-ol">
<li>item 2a
</li>
<li>item 2b
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>item 3
</li>
<li>etc.
</li>
</ol>


Thanks!

Thank you, Josiah.

That does explain it. 

It would be nice if there were CSS classes for various numbering
schemes:

org-ol-1
org-ol-A
org-ol-a
org-ol-i

etc.  Meanwhile, I'll make do.

Thanks!

You may use CSS when exporting to HTML. Let's take this small example:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
1) First item of high level
  1. First item of sublevel;
  2. second item of sublevel.
2) Second item of high level
  1. First item of sublevel, following next high level item;
  2. second item of sublevel.

Best regards.
#+END_EXAMPLE

With the following CSS high level items are numbered with digits but items of
sublevel are numbered with letters

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
ol[class="org-ol"] {
  list-style-type: decimal;
}

ol[class="org-ol"] * ol[class="org-ol"] {
  list-style-type: lower-alpha;
}
#+END_EXAMPLE

Of course, it would be much easier if "items" of different levels have
different classes.
