This bug is critical for my usage because I am trying to give a list of steps interspersed with commands and images. I cannot use <ol> and <li> because they collapse stuff onto one line and the "#" command assumes that if you skip a line you want to start a new list. What I require is some sort of tags to denote a whole list so that the # doesn't restart at 1 if I skip a line. e.g. <list> # blah foo bar # baz qux </list>
Maybe we should ask the developer to make enhancement, so that numbered list can be started from any given number. for example: # # # will result: 1. 2. 3. #4 # # will result: 4 5 6

This will mean that you have to readjust the numbers if you insert inbetween of 1 and 3. In *addition* to your requirement I would say that #++ should be easy to remember. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
#4, #++, <# start="4"> <ol start="4"> whatever.. I use any tag
One advantage of using the "#" command is that you don't have to re-number if you insert something in the middle, so I would definitely prefer something generic like #++ over specifying the number to start at.
Note: The start="" attribute has been deprecated by the W3C, the only standards compilant way of achiving the same is through style sheets, and I think only Opera supports that.

No, because I want to be able to call a template on the "More about Foo" line and if I do so, I end up with: 1. Foo (result of template call goes here) 1. Bar In addition to the above, the other thing I'm trying to intersperse with the numbered points is a chunk of code with the dotted border style you get when you indent by a single space. #: is as specific as #* in that it allows me to have a new line with a specific leading character in the midst of my list. I want to be able to include anything that occurs to me, which is why what I'd really like is "start" and "end" markers to essentially say "all # signs in this region should increment consecutively regardless of what appears in between them" or, more simply, "this section consitutes a single list".
