[racket] Scribble and itemlists

I wonder whether the various Scribble output formats can actually render it?


I'm pretty sure that "standard" (ha ha ha) markdown doesn't support
starting an ordered list with a specific number. Markdown like:

    2. X
    3. Y
    4. Z

Is rendered in HTML simply as <ol><li>X</li><li>Y</li><li>Z</li></ol>.


As for HTML, I think this is supported only starting with HTML 5. You
can say <ol start="3">...</ol>.

Keep in mind that HTML 5 means specifying <!doctype html>. But I don't
think Scribble does, now?
