In the above title, the raw description contains a numbered list, then a non-numbered list for which each element contains a numbered list with a different starting value.

Firefox and Chrome render this differently, with Firefox forcing each nested list to start at 1.

To handle this, either the <ol> element should get the start property matching the starting value of the nested list, or each <li> element should get a value property. The latter may be more flexible as then a description can put numbers out of order in the list if it needs to e.g. 3. 1. 2.

The raw description is:
Code:
A collection of Katou Takuji Twicomics.

1. Her Regretful Days of Killing Time
2. Magical Girl Akirara ☆
3. Isekai Hero G-Shine / Otherworld Hero G-Shine

11. etc.

Addendum: While this title's description should probably use four spaces to indent the nested list instead of -, it would be useful to be able to specify arbitrary starting points for numbered lists (and maybe arbitrary ordering), which only a handful of markdown parsers currently allow.
