It seems that COUNTER-SET[1] is not being honored when exporting to utf-8 for alphabetical lists even though it is honored for numeric lists. When exporting to html, COUNTER-SET is honored for both.
Test document: ``` # An ordered list starting at 3 1. [@3] foo # An ordered list starting at 1 m. bar # An ordered list starting at 11 m. [@k] baz ``` Launching emacs with: (Setting org-list-allow-alphabetical is necessary or else the alphabetical lists will become paragraphs) ``` emacs -q --eval '(setq org-list-allow-alphabetical t)' /tmp/test.org ``` When exporting to html you get (edited to remove whitespace for clarity): ``` <ol class="org-ol"><li value="3">foo</li></ol> <ol class="org-ol"><li>bar</li></ol> <ol class="org-ol"><li value="11">baz</li></ol> ``` But when exporting to utf-8 you get: (whitespace removed again) ``` 3. foo m. bar m. baz ``` Whereas I would expect: (whitespace removed again) ``` 3. foo m. bar k. baz ``` On a slightly related note: it seems the COUNTER-SET[1] allows single-letter values even when org-list-allow-alphabetical is nil. I don't think that is going to hurt anyone but I figured I should mention it in case its a bug (test doc: `1. [@k] foo` is a plain list starting at 11 even when org-list-allow-alphabetical is nil).
