PmWiki | PmWiki / ListStyles-Talk

This is a talk page for improving ListStyles.

Note that the value=x option is set numerically even if you are using, for instance, the %alpha% style. So if you wanted to start a second level numbered list at D you would use this:

## %ALPHA%%item value=4%this is a fourth
## and a fifth (should be numbered E)

this is a fourth
and a fifth (should be numbered E)

This is nice if you know what number you want your item to have, but it defeats the purpose of having automatically numbered lists (e.g. what if you arbitrarily insert a new numbered item somewhere, now you'd have to go through all your explicit entries and reset those numbers!) it would be really nice if we could put %item value=resume% to tell the engine to pick up where it left off... shi December 31, 2007, at 03:18 PM

I strongly second this thought. The ONLY reason I ever use the renumbering is to resume when the numbers have been reset by an intervening markup. It's very awkward to have to do manual renumbering on a potentially long list with potentially many interruptions. Peter Bowers March 31, 2008, at 03:22 AM

PmWiki needs a List page, for list formatting (cf Tables), perhaps this page should be renamed to become that?
