change list formatting

[tildejustin]

lists like the following currently don't have their outside header numbered but the individual elements are:

A.4.6) Resource packs which replace mod assets that are not meant to replace vanilla ones may be used. 
This includes but is not limited to:
    A.4.6.a) SeedQueue lock images
    A.4.6.b) SeedQueue sounds
    A.4.6.c) SeedQueue wall layout
This excludes but is not limited to:
    A.4.6.d) Newer Sodium versions' programmer art leaves.

while this superficially looks good, it implies the elements are part of the same list which makes no sense. additionally, the "list header" is the actual definition of the rule and it isn't numbered. also, nothing could be added to the includes part without putting rules out of order. this should be changed to.

A.4.6) Resource packs which replace mod assets that are not meant to replace vanilla ones may be used. 
    A.4.6.a) This includes but is not limited to:
         A.4.6.a.i) SeedQueue lock images
        A.4.6.a.ii) SeedQueue sounds
        A.4.6.a.iii) SeedQueue wall layout
    A.4.6.b) This excludes but is not limited to:
        A.4.6.b.i) Newer Sodium versions' programmer art leaves.

or this, if we are okay with getting rid of rule numbering for lists entirely. possibly, all lists should be changed to use roman numbers disregarding indentation level.

A.4.6) Resource packs which replace mod assets that are not meant to replace vanilla ones may be used. 
    A.4.6.a) This includes but is not limited to:
        i) SeedQueue lock images
        ii) SeedQueue sounds
        iii) SeedQueue wall layout
    A.4.6.b) This excludes but is not limited to:
        i) Newer Sodium versions' programmer art leaves.

getting rid of the first indent would make it look better at least in this case, but is annoyingly arbitrary.

A.4.6) Resource packs which replace mod assets that are not meant to replace vanilla ones may be used. 
A.4.6.a) This includes but is not limited to:
    i) SeedQueue lock images
    ii) SeedQueue sounds
    iii) SeedQueue wall layout
A.4.6.b) This excludes but is not limited to:
    i) Newer Sodium versions' programmer art leaves.

is it too big of a change to suggest this?

A.4.6) Resource packs which replace mod assets that are not meant to replace vanilla ones may be used. 
This includes but is not limited to:
    i) SeedQueue lock images
    ii) SeedQueue sounds
    iii) SeedQueue wall layout

this is all one rule. in general I think the rules are way too formal to the detriment of readability, this change would help significantly but would require a complete restructuring of the rules. certainly all these formatting issues are for post-typst so I can just make a big pr that's easy to visualize.

I definitely would not mind delisting everything as that comment says: it definitely is easier to read. Would lists that begin with sub-rules also use roman numerals?

Since this will 'erase' a bunch of rule names, we should perhaps consider #82 when implementing this.

I suggested so in the first message

possibly, all lists should be changed to use roman numbers disregarding indentation level.

I think it's the cleanest option

here's an excerpt from the racing rules of sailing, for instance. In my opinion, the way rules are collapsed into one block is a lot more organic and clean. They do lists as (a), (b), etc which seems more common (?) but I think it would interfere with our sub rule letter use.

the full rules are here https://www.sailing.org/inside-world-sailing/rules-regulations/racingrules/, the changes and corrections doc seems similar to what ismexion's suggested doing with a comprehensive changelog
