`fancy_lists` extension
=======================
Org-mode has a variable `org-list-allow-alphabetical` that when
set to `t`, allows ordered lists with single-character
alphabetical markers. Since this variable is `nil` by default,
alphabetical markers can be optionally enabled in Pandoc by
enabling the `fancy_lists` extension.
When `fancy_lists` is enabled, Pandoc will also parse list
markers starting with one lowercase or uppercase alphabetical
character, like `a.` and `D)`. Countrary to the use of this
extension in markdown, roman numerals or the `#` placeholder
can't be used as markers as they are not allowed in Org-mode.
One additional behavior that is enabled by the `fancy_lists`
extension is that the `.` and `)` delimiters for list markers
will be distinguished by Pandoc. In essence, this means that when
converting Org into formats like LaTeX, Pandoc will respect the
type of delimiter that you used in your Org file, instead of
always using the default delimiter for the exported format.
