isn't that an implementation issue? your example doesn't work indeed in the StackEdit link, but
1. Item one
1. Item two
1. Subitem a
1. Subitem b
does work, so that let me think that you just need to improve the parser to consider "a b c" as a valid ordered list, and maybe "i ii iii" at the same time?
(I replaced a, b and 2 by 1 to force the automatic numbering)
Yes, that would be nice if it parsed correctly. I need ordered lists that have capital letters, capital roman numerals, lowercase letters, numbers, and lowercase roman numerals.
