Question: ordered lists starting with 0

[martonbognar]

If I'm not mistaken, ordered lists starting with any positive number will have the start='N' attribute, but this is not the case when starting a list with 0, it will simply start it at the default 1.

Is this expected behavior based on the spec (I did not see any rules prohibiting it, but I could be wrong), and would you consider adding it as a feature? I think it would be beneficial seeing how especially in areas related to computing often indexes begin with a 0.

That's a great question - let me look into this and get back to you.

I've re-read the spec and came to the same conclusion as you - 0. is definitely a valid ordered list marker, so the start attribute should be set to 0. I'll work on implementing a fix for this.

I've also filed an issue "upstream" with the JS implementation that we're based off: commonmark/commonmark.js#10

Thanks for letting us know about this!

This has been fixed. Thanks!
