This isn't a very helpful response. I just solved the problem in a line of code, so I'm not sure what you're talking about with bloat. It's an html app, and this is a built-in capability of html.
Having sub-ordered lists repeating numbers at every level (1. > 1. > 1. > 1.) is very unhelpful, especially given how easy this is to implement in html:
<ol type="1"><li><ol type="a"><li>test</li></ol></li></ol>
Are there any plans to fix this in the near future?
