Subject: 26.1; shr: better list rendering

From: Christophe Troestler <[email-masked]>

Hi,

In the attached HTML file — which is a simplified version of an outlook message — the list is not rendered well by shr-render-buffer.  In otder to make it readable, there are two problems to be solved:

1. shr should take into account the “start” parameter in “<ol start="2">”;
2. The padding-left CSS style should be acted upon (not on the exact value but relative to the local indentation so the intended structure of the document remain clear visually).

I agree that the HTML should be architectured differently but unfortunately it is not what Outlook users send and it would be great to be able to stay in Emacs to read such messages.

Best,
C.
