Styling lists in org-export (html)

Question

So, for variety's sake I'd like lists and sublists to have different styles.  In emacs, I've enabled org-list-allow-alphabetical, but this doesn't work with export (not a bug).  However, there doesn't seem to be any simple way to change styles without adding extensive latex or html code to the file.

For example, with a list like this,

1. Parent
   1. child

I'd like to use a different marker for the sublist, to avoid confusion,  eg

1. Parent
   a) child

Latex seems to do this rather well by default.  Is there a way to specify it for other exporters?

The html output from the exporter is just nested ol lists without any labels. To alter the labels you can use CSS: #+HTML_HEAD: 1. first 2. second a. sub b. under 3. third To change the fullstops after the labels to something else see https://stackoverflow.com/q/5945161/4050592 for appropriate CSS. Note that you can use the #+ATTR_HTML to add specific attributes to elements including a list. This way you can make specific styling, such as: #+HTML_HEAD: #+ATTR_HTML: :id al 1. first 2. second 3. third
