Question

I've seen a discussion on Codev about preserving list structure, when things are included inline in a list - has anything like this been developed? It seems like most everything that you include in a running list kills the state of the list. For example:

   1. item 1
   1. item 2
      a. subitem 1
<pre>
Test
</pre>
      a. subitem 2

gives:

1. item 1
2. item 2
   1. subitem 1

Test

1. 1. subitem 2

In addition to restarting the counters, double "bullets" are printed on the last line. This is very annoying - there has to be a way around this, doesn't there?

I've seen mentioned a %BR%  hack, but haven't seen details about that either

There seems to be another rendering problem with alphanumeric ordered lists (see Subsection 2 in this recursive rendering example)

A list is finshed by an empty line or a line that starts with a not white space character. That is, you need to indent follow-up lines of bullets. That works most of the time, however the pre tags and verbatim tags are special, indenting those currently do not work for lists.

Workaround: Use %BR% and =monospaced text=. Example, write:

   1. item 1
   1. item 2
      a. subitem 1 %BR%
         =Test=
      a. subitem 2

to get:

1. item 1
2. item 2
   1. subitem 1
      Test
   2. subitem 2
