The Better Order List plugin for Obsidian enhances the functionality of ordered lists by supporting multiple formats for numbering. Users can create ordered lists using either traditional numbers, such as '(1)', '(2)', '(3)', or by using Chinese numerals like '一', '二', '三'. This plugin offers greater flexibility and customization for formatting lists, making it ideal for those who need to present information in a more structured or culturally specific way within Obsidian notes.

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.
