Numbered list in reverse order

[Koushikphy]

Is it possible to add a list or items that shows up as a reverse numbered list?

I haven't been able to make reversed lists work when written in Markdown, but it is possible if you write the list in HTML.

In HTML, you need to add reversed to the opening <ol> tag, like in this example:

<ol reversed>
    <li>Apples</li>
    <li>Bananas</li>
    <li>Coconuts</li>
    <li>Dragonfruit</li>
    <li>Eggplants</li>
</ol>

I tried using a few different ways of adding that reversed attribute using Kramdown syntax for attributes, but couldn't get them to work. Here's an example of what I tried:

1. Bananas
2. Coconuts
3. Dragonfruit
4. Eggplants
5. Apples
{:other: reversed="true"}

Here's how the above two lists are rendered on my site:

When I use my browser inspector tools, the reversed="true" just disappears. My best guess is that Kramdown doesn't know how to use this kind of attribute for lists.

I hope that helps!
