Format Nested Lists

Overview

All lists in knowledge articles can be either numbered (e.g. 1, 2, 3), bulleted (e.g. circle, disc, square), or a combination of both. Numbered lists default to decimal numerals (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). Sub numbered lists should be formatted as lower-alpha (e.g. a, b, c, d, etc.) and then lower-roman (e.g. i, ii, iii, iv, v, etc.) for clarity. Bulleted lists default to circle. Sub-bulleted lists should be formatted as disc, and then square for clarity. Lists that combine numbered, and bulleted lists should combine the above styles as appropriate.
