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,
