 * I am trying to copy paste some content from my Google Docs which have Alphabetically
   ordered list.
 * Example:
    1. Which is the correct option of question 1? A. Quober B. Zabet C.
   Finch D. Tobler
 * But WordPress editor don’t support it and when I pasted the content the list 
   become an normal unordered list marked with bullets.
 * It creates problems for some of my site content.
 * I will request to the WordPress developers please look into it.

 * If you mean the A, B, C, etc at the start, that’s how lists work in HTML, which
   is different to Google Docs, Word, etc.
 * The way to do it is to set a CSS class name on the list, and use CSS rules to
   set the list style, in this case to upercase letters.
 * Something like this will do the trick.
 *     ```
       ul.alpha-numbers {
           list-style-type: upper-alpha;
       }
       ```
   
 * Then you’d add the CSS class of ‘alpha-numbers’ to your lists main tag. If you’re
   using Gutenberg, this can be done in the ‘Advanced’ section for that list block.
   If you’re using the standard text editor, then switch to text view and add it
   as normal.

 * [@catacaustic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catacaustic/) thank you for
   your reply.
    That’s not a solution to the problem. And i know about html and 
   css rules can do the job. But i need to do it manually for each list. Like; i
   publish 100 questions answers per post day and i need to do the same job 100 
   times.
 * I am requesting the WordPress developers to implement this functionality automatically
   within Gutenberg editor.
