[Orgmode] Ordered lists with alphabetic tags?

2010-02-15 Thread Simon Guest
Hi, I'd like to produce multi-choice questions using Org mode, exporting via Latex and Beamer mode to PDF. My choices need to be alphabetic: A B C, etc, since I am using a set of classroom clickers (aka voting buttons) for students to select answers, which have buttons labelled A to H. So far, I
