> @m2d/list: Markdown List & Numbering conversion plugin for `@m2d/core`. Transforms ordered and bullet lists into native Word OpenXML numbering schemes.

---

## ✨ Features

- 🔢 **Hierarchical Decimal Numbering**: Generates clear, multi-level outline numbering (`1.`, `1.1.`, `1.1.1.`, `A.`, `a.`, `i.`) that avoids resetting arbitrarily at sub-levels.
- 🔲 **Multi-Tier Bullet Glyphs**: Automatically assigns distinct bullet characters (`●`, `○`, `■`, `◆`, `▶`, etc.) across nested list levels.
- 📄 **Native Word OpenXML Numbering**: Registers genuine Word abstract numbering schemes in `numbering.xml`, ensuring list items update dynamically in Word.
- ⚙️ **Fully Customizable Levels**: Use the exported `createLevels` utility to define custom indentation steps, start depths, and format sequences.
- 🏢 **Word Preset Support**: Toggle `defaultBullets: true` to seamlessly match standard Word template bullet configurations.
