For example, numbered lists are a perfect solution for procedure documentation. However, oftentimes it is necessary to insert a <pre>,
<div>, or even wiki-syntax table between two consecutive steps. In the current wiki implementation, Parser.php restarts the numbered list back at #1 after such an interjection. Am I missing something? Is there a mechanism to embed these (and possible other) non-numbered list items in a numbered list?
If there currently isn't a way to do so, then I'd like to see if there is currently any effort to hack/redesign the Parser to accept some new syntax (backwards compatible, of course) to allow for starting a numbered list at any user defined value? And if there isn't such an effort already, then I'd like to give it a try myself (I've looked at the code already and have a pretty good idea on how to do it).
My personal recommendation, if anyone's planning to hack on the parser, would be magic words:
__MANUALNUMBER__
and
__RESETNUMBER__
What those ought to do should be obvious, I hope. :-) Is it necessary to more finely granularize the RESET command? Should numbered lists be a full-fledged feature?
