```````````````````````````````` Note that with Upper Alpha or Upper Roman style list items followed by periods, we require at least two spaces after the list marker in order to avoid capturing initials: ```````````````````````````````` example B. Russell B. Russell I. J. Good I. J. Good .
  1. Russell

B. Russell

  1. J. Good

I. J. Good

```````````````````````````````` A new list starts with any style change: ```````````````````````````````` example 1. one 2) one .
  1. one
  1. one
```````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````` example 1. one a. one .
  1. one
  1. one
```````````````````````````````` Variable start numbers should work with all types of lists: ```````````````````````````````` example b. two (vi) six .
  1. two
  1. six
```````````````````````````````` In cases of ambiguity (such as `'v.'`, which could be lowercase Roman or lowercase alphabetical, we prefer an interpretation that continues an existing list: ```````````````````````````````` example u. one v. two .
  1. one
  2. two
```````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````` example iv. one v. two .
  1. one
  2. two
```````````````````````````````` When ambiguities cannot be resolved this way, we prefer to interpret `i.` and `I.` as Roman numerals, and other single letters as alphabetical: ```````````````````````````````` example i. one ii. two .
  1. one
  2. two
```````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````` example I. one .
  1. one
```````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````` example C. one CI. one .
  1. one
  1. one
