Allow "1." only ordered TOC lists output about md-toc HOT 10 CLOSED

This is not implemented but it should be fairly easy to do

from md-toc.

I have a couple of questions:

• what would you call this option?
• should the user choose the (starting) number?

See https://spec.commonmark.org/0.28/#start-number

from md-toc.

2. The user should be able to choose a starting number since it works on Github. 1 is by the far the most common though.
3. constant_number_lists? auto_ordered_lists? vc_friendly_ordered_lists? constant_ordered_lists?

I am not sure what the common_mark terminology is for this feature, but it seems like the ordered lists all disregard everything after the first number and renumber themselves anyway when rendered?

Ok, I'd go with constant_ordered_lists.

According to https://spec.commonmark.org/0.28/#start-number yes: only the first number is considered.

There is a problem with nested lists:

1. asd
   99. o
   10. we
   117. abc
1. asd
8309. sd

renders this:

1. asd
   99. o
   10. we
   117. abc
2. asd
3. sd

~

while

1. asd
   1. o
   2. we
   3. abc
1. asd
8309. sd

renders:

1. asd
   1. o
   2. we
   3. abc
2. asd
3. sd

I have also tried this in the commonmark interactive page: https://spec.commonmark.org/dingus/ . In that case the start integer number of the nested list must start from 1 to avoid unexpected results.

Yes I know. Using 1 without the ability to change it is the only way

You can test the new feature in the dev branch (commit 31e80c3). The option is called
--constant-ordered-list or -c if you run:

md_toc github -h
md_toc redcarpet -h
