The following wiki text:
#a text #b text
Gives
1. a
text
1. b
text
I would like my list numbering to keep going (1, 2 ...). I realize the problem is because of the new line. However I want the entries under each list item to have an example in a nice box (hence the leading space). However I cannot find a way to achieve this that keeps the list number from restarting at 1 every time.
Is there an easy way to achieve this?
Thanks,
Jc
Jean,
The following works for me:
#a<br/><pre>text</pre> #b<br/><pre>text</pre>
The key to preserving the numbering is not to have any blank lines. Therefore, I use the HTML tags to get the effect I want, like the line break <br> and <pre> for formatted text.
Anyone else have tips that are less of a hack?

I can understand why that works but it's really ugly when the 'text' part is many lines long :(

Actually I have found that it is not blank lines that cause the problem but newlines ...

Yes, anyone?

Hello,
The problem is that in wiki syntax the list item is stopped by a new line. You probably want to switch to pure html:
<ol>
<li> a<br /> text </li>
<li> b<br /> text </li>
</ol>
Not sure if ol and li tags are allowed though :(

If you want the numbering to continue, you use this format:
#a #:text #b #:text
It will not number the ones indented with ":", and resumes numeration at the next ordinary "#". It doesn't have to be ":", it could also be another number "#" or a bullet "*".
As for the "nice box", personally I can't stand them (they'd wouldnt be so bad if they werent monospaced), but you can call it in HTML by hand:
#a #:<pre>text</pre> #b #:<pre>text</pre>

(which is just me, monospaced may be what you want or need)
but you can call it in HTML by hand: #a #:<pre>text</pre> #b #:<pre>text</pre>
...but you won't be able to use line breaks, so it'd be only useful for one-line examples.
