Ordered lists using letters

Hi.
I want to create an ordered list using lowercase letters:

a. Race

Human.

b. Build
c. Age

However, Marked does not seem to interpret the lettered list correctly. I would expect "Human" to show up indented beneath a. but instead it shows as a code block, which tells me that "a. Race" is interpreted as regular inline text.

This seems to work just fine in Mou (another Markdown text editor). Am I missing something in how to do this in Marked? Thanks!

    MultiMarkdown does not allow for letter-ordered lists. Your only option that I'm aware of is to set up Discount as a custom processor. The next version of Marked has this built in, but I don't have an estimated release date for it yet. If you need help setting Discount up, let me know.

    C library: http://www.pell.portland.or.us/~orc/Code/discount/

    Ruby implementation (easiest method for scripting): https://github.com/rtomayko/rdiscount

    Thanks Brett for the helpful info. It appears that Mou uses Discount.
