What I want:
Dictionary-like entry, such as
foobar
1. foo 2. bar a. green b. blue
What I tried: See end of post.
Evidently list-style-type is suppressed so it effectively becomes none
when the list is displayed inline. Is this the proper behavior?
Am I doing something wrong?
I'm willing to put the sense numbers in the text, but I am wondering
whether browsers should be supporting inline list-style-types and one
day will so one day the definitions will have double sense numbers.
