Allow other types of ordered list styles

What's wrong? Describe the what you're seeing

I'm dealing with some formatting problems because we have a document for the legal path that requires nested ordered lists in a specific style. I tried a lot of different things, and finally realized that I needed to troubleshoot in the page inspector.
Right now, all <ol> elements are forced to use the green Arabic numbers. I'd like to be able to use the list-stlye-type:

• lower-roman
• upper-roman
• lower-alpha
• upper-alpha

But right now if I set that in the Inspector, it's still showing the green Arabic numerals.

Suggestions for a fix

Allow me to add a tag like {:list-style-type: "lower-roman"} that overrides the list-style-type: none in the CSS, and doesn't use the green numbers.

In addition, it's ignoring the usual Markdown compatible way of doing nested numbered lists and just showing them as plain text:

So for example:

2.1.  "**Foo**" means any the following...

       2.1.1  any of the bax
       2.1.2  any of the fwee

2.2. "**Bar**" means the other placeholder text

Just renders as the paragraph text with the numbers preceding it:

2.1.  "Foo" means any the following...
2.1.1  any of the bax
2.1.2  any of the fwee
2.2. "Bar" means the other placeholder text

I had to roll this back because it was causing a lot of problems with normal lists in our docs. :(
(It also is less of a priority as it looks like we're going to be moving the Legal docs out.)

I'm sorry, I got a little confused last time 😅

Well, then I suggest you to think about all of these lists again. Especially since the legal docs will be out.
Currently, the styleguide contains only three types of lists:

and these work fine.

Maybe Damian or Vero will help you with this one and then they'll get back to me with a new design.
What do you think @sanscontext?

I think the main thing we need to be able to do is have nested lists of different types? So, for example, an ordered list with a sub-list of unordered items.

Right now we're running into the indented code blocks issue again. :(

The Legal docs are out of the docs repo, and I think we can close this! We can open a new issue later if there's another need - for now the priority is finding a way to disable the indented backtics rendering. Thanks for all your work @noeemi !
