plateau: ordered list in PDF being rendered differently in viewer

[ReesePlews]

in Plateau doc02 (sources/002-v5) an ordered list in the PDF is rendering as a) b) c) is being rendered in the viewer as 1) 2) 3)

correctly ordered list from the PDF

the same ordered list in the viewer

Plateau follows JIS list item labeling. The PDF is correct here.

thanks @ronaldtse;

additionally this main issue also occurs in the viewer version of Plateau doc01 (sources/001-v5)

The issue is programmatic so both documents will exhibit the same behavior.

I believe the best way to handle is have the list label progression definition embedded in the XML source as presentational elements. Ping @opoudjis

[ronaldtse]

Ping @opoudjis to ensure that list labels are included inside MN XML.

They already are.

== Scope

. A
. B
.. C

generates in Presentation XML:

<ol id="_c13d3d7e-6fc6-5aa6-f368-0d81b8c7d1ee" type="alphabet"><li id="_901e8405-d465-420b-bdfb-8727f0997d12" label="a"><p id="_b09dbe9c-3b42-c169-a87c-f4aec97a79ec">A</p>
</li>
<li id="_64dfe52a-081c-4906-b2d2-a35ed939f36b" label="b"><p id="_3998aee2-a32d-aca5-5fd3-4f39c4eb22ab">B</p>
<ol id="_ca89636b-d2f4-a3de-0021-c32d7dc82844" type="arabic"><li id="_40a2f481-930b-4dc4-85f9-13c2850706fa" label="1"><p id="_16a81ca9-25c3-0794-9c32-c056592d6c63">C</p>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>

Note the li/@label attribute.

@opoudjis there is type="alphabet" and label="b" but is the result b) or b.? This is unclear.

As metanorma/metanorma-iso#319 https://github.com/metanorma/metanorma-iso/blob/main/lib/isodoc/iso/html/style-iso.scss will show, changing the rendering in HTML of a ordered list label is convoluted.

The only way this is going to be realisable at all is by providing a separate value for the rendering template: the label needs to be kept alone as a value, which would be the input into any CSS counter, and then styled by the template:

ol[class="roman"] > li::before {
  counter-increment: roman;
  content: counter(roman, lower-roman)") "
}

The CSS would need to be content: %), with % replaced by the counter value derived from label: b.

I will add a label-template attribute to ol/li, which by default will be "%." and in this instance will be "%)".

Thanks @opoudjis. An additional question: would it be better if we can declare the list styling definitions governing the entire document, and referring to them with names?
