XF 1.5 BB code for ordered list types

[Aivaras]

I'm in need of additional types for ordered lists. As a result, I was hoping the following BB codes would work:

[list=A]
[*]First item
[*]Second item
[*]Third item
[/list]

to output:

A. First item
B. Second item
C. Third item

[list=a]
[*]First item
[*]Second item
[*]Third item
[/list]

to output:

a. First item
b. Second item
c. Third item

[list=I]
[*]First item
[*]Second item
[*]Third item
[/list]

to output:

  I. First item
 II. Second item
III. Third item

[list=i]
[*]First item
[*]Second item
[*]Third item
[/list]

to output:

  i. First item
 ii. Second item
iii. Third item

Yet they don't. Is this difficult to implement on XenForo?

To do it properly, it'd likely need an add-on as lists are complex to parse, so it'd be important to maintain most of the default code. But it'd be doable by changing the list style type: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/list-style-type

I just checked phpBB and they have all the types implemented. Perhaps it can be pursued along the same or similar lines in XF?

This seems so simple. If [*] is always replaced with <li> then a simple html replacement should be enough. I guess it is a lot more complicated than that because of the parsing.

It did not make it in to 2.1 and we will not be installing 2.2 for another month or so and I do not think it is there either.
