New description:
When using the rich text editor in WebComment, HTML lists markup is always
transformed to a series of lines prefixed with "*" when sending the email
notification, even if the list is an ordered one or contains nested
sections
'''Case 1'''
{{{
<ul>
<li>foo</li>
<li>bar</li>
</ul>
}}}
results in:
{{{
* foo
* bar
}}}
'''Case 2'''
{{{
<ol>
<li>foo</li>
<li>bar</li>
</ol>
}}}
results in:
{{{
* foo
* bar
}}}
'''Case 3'''
{{{
<ol>
<li>foo
<ol>
<li>nested foo</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>bar</li>
</ol>
}}}
results in:
{{{
* foo
* nested foo
* bar
}}}
While '''Case 2''' would better be transformed to:
{{{
1. foo
2. bar
}}}
and '''Case 3''' would better be transformed to:
{{{
1. foo
1. nested foo
2. bar
}}}
(or ''1.1 nested foo'', but this is no the default behavior of nested
ordered lists)
The {{{handle_starttag(..)}}} function of the {{{EmailWasher}}} class (in
{{{webcomment_washer.py}}}) can be easily extended to support these
behaviours.
