Automatic List Styles

wiseguruwiseguru7k downloads

Automatically formats the styles of ordered lists, incrementing the list style for each layer.

NOTE: This plugin is being deprecated in favor of Lawlist by Willem Schlieter. Lawlist supports both Edit and Read modes, as well as custom lists.

I will continue to publish security updates for this plugin but encourage you to switch to Lawlist once it's been published with Obsidian.

This is a plugin for Obsidian.

When viewing ordered lists in read mode, they will automatically shift styles with level of indent. The following styles are set by default:

  • decimal
  • lower-alpha
  • lower-roman
  • upper-alpha
  • upper-roman
  • decimal-leading-zero
  • disc
  • circle
  • square

Please note this does not impact edit mode, just read mode.

Upgrade Path

I would like to add a settings page that allows users to customize their list styles, using any of the CSS list style types available, but I haven't gotten that to work properly yet.

About
Apply hierarchical list styles to lists in read mode, automatically shifting numbering and bullet types by indent level. Use a default sequence (decimal, lower-alpha, lower-roman, upper-alpha, upper-roman, decimal-leading-zero, disc, circle, square); does not affect edit mode.
