Hi xwikiers, During the process of doing a 1.0 to 2.0 syntax converter I found some bugs on XWiki 2.0 lists syntax/parser. Let's list them: a) The parser repeat list parameters on each sub list. See http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3067 for details. b) any parameter on a sub list break the list c) IMO we should support mixed list syntax (see http://markmail.org/message/a3bzyzxk4yxcwb7x), like in 1. item 1 ** item 2 (% style="list-style-type: lower-alpha" %) *** subitem 2.1 *** subitem 2.2 ** item 3 1. item 4 d) we should support adding any parameter on list item. We dont have any syntax for that. For all this I propose the following: 1) A sub list inherits from its parent 1.a) Stop repeating parameters in parser 1.b) A sub list can add new parameters 1.c) A sub list can override a parameter 2) Add support for mixed list syntax. This is about "1." and "*", the mixing of different "*" style is already covered by 1) 1.first level item ** second level item ** second level item 1. first level item 2.a) Remove the 1*. syntax support 3) Add support for list item (LI) parameters. 3.a) We will need a syntax for it. For now I propose: if this is not the first item list or if there is two parameter token the second is for the list item. This means you will need to explicitly add a empty parameters token when you want to add parameters on an the item list. (%%) (% param=value %) * first item (% param2=value %) * second item 1) +1 2) +1 because it's easier for user IMO and a lot more simple for parser than having a specific syntax for mixing syntax like with "1*.". Plus I voted for 1) and I don't like particular cases. 2.a) +1 for cleaner parser and syntax 3) +1, we need it since we generally allow custom parameters everywhere

Thanks,
