title: How do you make lettered lists using markdown?
body: <p><a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#list">Markdown</a> allows ordered lists using numbers.  How can I instead get an ordered list using <em>letters</em>?  i.e.</p>
  
  <pre><code>A. the letter A
  B. the letter B
  C. etc
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>instead of </p>
  
  <pre><code>1. the number 1
  2. the number 2
  3. etc.
  </code></pre>
