Markdown Discuss - Jul 2013 - ordered lists: type lower alpha?

Hi folks,

atm we have in markdown [ordered lists] with the [type] 'arabic numbers'
working:

1. one
1. two

would it be possible to have also the type 'lower alpha'?

a. first
a. second

The type attribute is deprecated, but it is allowed to supported it or 
just add an inline css (e.g. " style='list-style-type:
lower-alpha;' ").


thx & greetz

It's not standard markdown, but pandoc's extended markdown supports
this:
