Customize list item label for latex

Customize list item label for latex

[jiewuza]

Currently, pandoc sets the label automatically according to the text
format. For
```
(1) item
    (a) subitem
         i. subsubitem
```

It generates tex:
```
\begin{enumerate}
\def\labelenumi{(\arabic{enumi})}
\item
  my item

  \begin{enumerate}
  \def\labelenumii{(\alph{enumii})}
  \tightlist
  \item
    subitem

    \begin{enumerate}
    \def\labelenumiii{\roman{enumiii}.}
    \tightlist
    \item
      subsubitem
    \end{enumerate}
  \end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
```

This is a great feature. However, sometimes it is required to match a
`hierarchy label format`. It is common that the format is predefined in
scholar paper templates, like:
```
\renewcommand{\theenumi}{\arabic{enumi}}
\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{(\theenumi)}
\renewcommand{\theenumii}{\alpha{enumii}}
\renewcommand{\labelenumii}{\theenumii}
\renewcommand{\theenumiii}{\roman{enumiii}}
\renewcommand{\labelenumiii}{(\theenumiii)}
```

And you just have to make the hierarchy right, forgetting the format
detail.

So I am wondering if it is worth introducing an option to disable generating the
label according to the text, but leaving the format for user customization.

Put it another way, I hope pandoc can generate latex for
```
Here is list 1:

1. my item
    1. subitem
         1. subsubitem

...

Here is list 2:
i. my item
    (1) subitem

...
Here is list 3:
...

```
as (leave out all those label format setting stuff):
```
Here is list 1:

\begin{enumerate}
\item
  my item

  \begin{enumerate}
  \tightlist
  \item
    subitem

    \begin{enumerate}
    \tightlist
    \item
      subsubitem
    \end{enumerate}
  \end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}

...
```

The format is customized in latex template once for all, according to
the hierarchy, like
```
\renewcommand{\theenumi}{\arabic{enumi}}
\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{(\theenumi)}
\renewcommand{\theenumii}{\alph{enumii}}
\renewcommand{\labelenumii}{\theenumii}
\renewcommand{\theenumiii}{\roman{enumiii}}
\renewcommand{\labelenumiii}{(\theenumiii)}
```

One of the benefits is that the writer does not have to care about the
label format at all when writing the markdown. He just has to make sure
the indention/hierarchy is right, and the final label formats (there
would be many ordered lists section in the markdown, as the example
shows above) are consistent, no matter which (arabic/alph/roman) is used
in the markdown.

You can use

```
#. my item
   #. subitem
      #. subsubitem
```

which does the job (see http://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-fancy_lists)

It generates 

```
\begin{enumerate}
\tightlist
\item
  my item

  \begin{enumerate}
  \tightlist
  \item
    subitem

    \begin{enumerate}
    \tightlist
    \item
      subsubitem
    \end{enumerate}
  \end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
```

in LaTeX
