[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Support mixed syntaxes for lists

3 Jan 2009

      Hi xwikiers,

Currently XWiki 2.0 only support the same way of mixing lists than XWiki 1.0:

---------------------
1. item 1
1*. item 2
1*. item 3
1. item 4
---------------------

This only support two syntaxes : the default ordered numbers and the
default point list. Plus It does not sounds very natural to me.

I propose to be able to really mix list syntaxes without any particular syntax:

------------------------------
1. item 1
** item 2
(% style="list-style-type: lower-alpha" %)
*** subitem 2.1
*** subitem 2.2
** item 3
1. item 4
---------------------------

Currently this generate 5 different lists:

<ol>
  <li>item 1</li>
</ol>

<ul>
  <li>
    <ul>
      <li>item 2</li>
      <li>item 3</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

<ul style="list-style-type: lower-alpha">
  <li>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <ul>
          <li>subitem 2.1</li>
          <li>subitem 2.2</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

<ul>
  <li>
    <ul>
      <li>item 3</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

<ol>
  <li>item 4</li>
</ol>

Also another problem is also that this will generate a very different
XWiki syntax that the original one.

I propose to generate only one big list giving something like:
<ol>
  <li> item 1
    <ul>
      <li> item 2
        <ul style="list-style-type: lower-alpha">
          <li>subitem 2.1</li>
          <li>subitem 2.2</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li> item 3</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li> item 4</li>
</ol>

Here is my +1

Thanks,
