PDF export converts numbered lists to unordered lists
Asked by Ryan Young:

When I export pages with numbered lists to PDF, the numbered lists are converted to unordered bullets.

Confluence page:

PDFexport_numbered_list.png

Exported PDF:

PDFexport_unordered_list.png

Has anyone else run into this? Why is this happening?

body: This issue is the below section in your CSS. You are telling it to have all list items use a sqaure ... whether is comes from an ordered list or an unordered list.

```
li{ list-style-type: square; font-size: 11pt; margin-top: 6pt;}
```
