+Rank N' Auto is powerful in the sense that a wide range of output
+formatting is available. How you want the output is determined by the
+input formatting.
+
 Bullet lists, numbered item lists and piped tables are all respected.
+
 That means that bullets which are fed will remain in the output. The
 numbering is regenerated, starting from 1. List patterns are preserved
 at best effort, the widest input number is used for pattern
 definition, and output is adopted for right alignment. Piped tables
 are similarly regenerated.
 
+A-B-C-style priority notes such Org-mode's `[#A]` and the similar as
+`(A)` are updated. The interpretation is the 1--9 (high--low) plus 0
+(undefined) model described for the iCalender format, RFC 5545. For
+long lists all nine levels `A1`, `A2`, ..., `B1`, ... are provided.
