There's an easy way to allow starting values without adding new syntax to the grammar: Allow wiki-items and html-items to be mixed. So instead of
<ol start="5"> <li>A</li> <li>B</li> <li>C</li> <li>D</li> </ol>
you can use
<ol start="5"> # A # B # C # D </ol>
Thanks for the suggestion. For the most part, this would be sufficient, except in cases where on step 2.3.1.5 you have a table and the next step should continue counting at 2.3.1.6. With your suggestion, the syntax would have to be
#### Text of step 2.3.1.5 {| | a table |} <ol start=2> <ol start=3> <ol start=1> <ol start=6> #### Text of step 2.3.1.6
Also, this method requires the user to know what the numbered list item number was before the interruption so that the user could explicitly specify the next incremental number by hand. One of the things I'm looking for is to not force the users to do so and have the numbering continue on automatically.
