Bug: alphabetical lists will not show up as such in LaTeX export [9.3.6 (9.3.6-71-g7684b5-elpaplus @ /home/qqwy/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20200518/)]

Dear org-mode community,


With `org-list-allow-alphabetical` on, it is possible to use syntax like

`a.`, `b.`, `c.` to create lists.

However, the LaTeX that is exported will still create normal `enumerize`
lists that do /not/ show up as alphabetical but rather still use `1.`,
`2.`, `3.` for numbering.

I think this current behaviour is at the very least surprising, and
possibly unintended.


Thank you for your time and consideration!

To fix this I think we will probably require:

\renewcommand{\theenumi}{\alph{enumi}}

Which will need i's added to match the depth (e.g. \thenumii).
I expect this can be done within the enum env.

I recall at least a few threads over the years that may be useful in
thinking about this issue.  Here are the ones I quickly found again:

Hi,

I use the enumitem package
(http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/enumitem/enumitem.pdf) for
lists in LaTeX. For an alphabetical list, for example:

#+begin_src org
  ,#+LaTeX_Header: \usepackage{enumitem}
  ,#+ATTR_LaTeX: :options [label=\alph*.,widest=a]
  a. Lorem
  b. ipsum
  c. dolor
#+end_src

And to export to LaTeX and HTML, you can define a macro like this:

#+begin_src org
  ,#+MACRO: alphalist (eval (if (org-export-derived-backend-p org-export-current-backend 'latex) "#+ATTR_LaTeX: :options [label=\\alph*.,widest=a]" "#+ATTR_HTML: :type a"))

  {{{alphalist}}}
  a. Lorem
  b. ipsum
  c. dolor'
#+end_src

Best regards,

Juan Manuel
