My thought on this was that it should optionally use similar syntax to tables, like so:
{# # Item one
Can be arbitrarily long
<pre>Lots of weird stuff in here</pre>
# Only now do we get to item two, in the same list # Etc. #}
I was hoping to keep the syntax as close to the standard wiki numbered list as possible. I was thinking about something like
# Item one # Item two <pre>block of data</pre> #{} Restart numbering from last list, so Item 3 {| |} #{4} Start numbering at 4, so Item 4
I realize that there are lots of preferences either way ...
Brion has, I believe, vetoed all of the suggestions made here, when they have been made before at various points. The correct solution for now is to just use HTML lists:
Unfortunately, I am new to this list, so I don't know the history of this discussion. Can you please point me at the previous discussion or maybe summarize the key point here? As part of my experience using and maintaining the wiki at my work, I see this as probably the weakest link in the wiki. I'd like to understand the reasoning behind the decisions made thus far.
Thanks, gri6507.
