Ordered Lists in Crimson will no longer use custom CSS counters. This will allow users to take advantage of the variety of ordered list types available in the WYSIWYG toolbar without applying even more CSS to override the templates.

While you may want to revisit any existing complex ordered lists on your site, they should continue to work without changes (though you may be able to simplify them, if desired).

Users can continue to use the snippets for the various list styles, or the options in the toolbar should now work properly for ordered lists.

The most obvious difference for viewers of the lists will be the difference in the alignment of the numbers prefixing the list items. Note especially the odd spacing for numbers containing 1 or 7 in the previous style.
