For #1, that’s a longstanding issue that I thought we had fixed but I guess not. This is what I have in my custom CSS if you want to paste it into Design → Edit CSS. Let me know if that fixes it and I’ll make sure we update the default theme.
article ol li {
list-style-type: decimal;
}
article ul li {
list-style-type: disc;
}
.post-body ul li {
list-style-type: disc !important;
}
I’ve seen the same problem with numbered lists–awkward on a post a couple of weeks ago where later in the body of the post, I referenced items in the list by number.
