What's `start: auto` used for in `enum`?

[linux-user36]

I saw in the docs that enum.start can be set to auto, which seems to have the same effect as 1. What’s the difference then? Specifically, I saw on the roadmap that enum continuations are a long-term goal to support, and using auto as a start value seems like the ideal choice for that; but that obviously doesn’t work if it’s already in use for something else (what exactly?).

Hi, welcome to the Typst forum! The auto value makes a difference when you also set reverse: true:

#enum(reversed: true, [A], [B])
#enum(reversed: true, start: 1, [A], [B])
