Hi Daniel,

Numbered list syntax is one of the biggest weak points in this otherwise fantastic piece of software (Mediawiki). Any reasonably interesting or realistic list will break the numbering scheme. Don't spend time wrestling with it: just use HTML for numbered lists.
<ol> <li>...</li> </ol>
Thanks for that! I'm new to Mediawiki and thought it was "bad practice" to use HTML syntax, so other than <pre>, I've been staying away from it and using Mediawiki syntax. But you're right...a simple <ol start="3"> solves my problem... Thanks!
For source code listings, use the GeSHi extension which is FANTASTIC.

Oh, cool! Thanks for that! I am so new, I actually don't know what an extension is...but reading that page is simple enough; thank you!
