286+Unlike standard markdown, Pandoc allows ordered list items to be
287+marked with single letters, instead of numbers. So, for example,
288+this source yields a nested ordered list:
289+
290+ 1. First
291+ 2. Second
292+ a. Fee
293+ b. Fie
294+ 3. Third
295+
296+Pandoc also extends standard markdown in allowing list item markers
297+to be terminated by ')':
298+
299+ 1) First
300+ 2) Second
301+ A) Fee
302+ B) Fie
303+ 3) Third
304+
305+Note that Pandoc pays no attention to the *type* of ordered list
306+item marker used. Thus, the following is treated just the same as
307+the example above:
308+
309+ A) First
310+ 1. Second
311+ 2. Fee
312+ B) Fie
313+ C) Third
