[Python-markdown-discuss] Support for custom start index for `ol` (merge request)

[Rohan J. <cr...@gm...>]

The definition of ordered list on
http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
says that the list starting with a number different from `1` can, in future,
define the
starting index of the unordered list (search for `3. Bird` on the page).
So I wrote a patch for doing this. Here is the merge request:
https://gitorious.org/python-markdown/mainline/merge_requests/13

Thanks Rohan. I made a few comment son the request page. Address those
issues and I'll merge your request.

But I do have a question for everyone: Should this be a configurable
setting, perhaps on the Markdown class? In other words, should we make
it easy to turn on and off?

That approach seems eminently reasonable.  I'd say default it to 'OFF'
for backwards compatibility purposes; otherwise, someone somewhere will
trip over it.  I assume it would be a command line option as well?

I fixed the issues you pointed out. The details are here:

I am not sure that an additional setting could be of that much of use.
