The Automatic List Styles plugin enhances the visual appearance of ordered lists in Obsidian by automatically adjusting their style based on the level of indentation. This feature affects only the read mode, providing a variety of default styles such as decimal, lower and upper alphabetical, roman numerals, and different bullet styles like disc, circle, and square. The plugin helps organize and make multi-level lists more visually appealing without impacting edit mode. Though customization options for list styles are planned, the current functionality focuses on automatically shifting styles as per list depth, improving readability for users.

The LawList: Custom List Styles plugin enhances the appearance of ordered lists by allowing users to customize numbering formats for up to 10 indentation levels. It supports various list styles such as Roman numerals, uppercase or lowercase letters, and even patterns like (1) or i). Users can set global styles through plugin settings or apply inline custom styles to specific items using curly braces. Importantly, the plugin only changes how lists are displayed-it doesn't alter the underlying Markdown. This is especially useful for users who need structured formatting, such as those working in academic, legal, or documentation-heavy contexts.
