Nothing, except it's not documented anywhere or readily noticable in the code. I must have skipped right over it! In the wiki_rules, I see: Enumeration Lists. An enumeration list item is a line that begins with one or more digits optionally followed by a "." and is surrounded on both sides by two or more spaces or by a tab. The number is significant and becomes the number shown in the rendered enumeration item. Only a single level of enumeration list is supported by wiki. For nested enumerations or for enumerations that count using letters or roman numerials, use HTML. I do, however, by far prefer # over 0 as in many web browsers the default font of 0 looks like an O. Also, in keeping with the idea that "The wiki markup used by fossil, though limited, is common to most other wiki engines", # is much more common, I've never run into using 0 before in a wiki system. People will intuitively use * and #. As proof, look at how many people never knew Fossil did numeric lists! Also, the purpose of a wiki is to make the text both human readable and able to be formatted by a computer at the same time. So, when reading a numbered list, compare these two items: John Doe had many pets as a child: 0 Dog 0 Cat 0 Fish 0 Rabbit 0 Horse or..... John Doe had many pets as a child: # Dog # Cat # Fish # Rabbit # Horse Also, I wanted to make note that even in the fossil wiki where numeric lists are used, I see the syntax of: 1. Dog 2. Cat 3. Fish 4. .... which is the defined syntax.
