Question

How do I maintain a numbered list format if one of the list items uses %INCLUDE%?

I have certain paragraphs that I need to repeat over and over on multiple pages. I have put each paragraph on its own Wiki page, and I %INCLUDE{Topic}% to bring the paragraph into my main pages.

The problem is that on some pages, if I'm in an indented (Numbered) list when I invoke the %INCLUDE% the indentation is maintained for that list item, but as soon as I follow the included item with my next " 1.", the list starts over all the way to the left and at 1, like this:

1. My top level item
   1. my first subitem text
   2. my second subitem text
      1. my first indent in subitem 2 b. my second indent in subitem 2, with %INCLUDE{Topic}%.
   3. my third item text

displays like this:

a. My top level item

1. my first submitem text
2. my second subitem text
   1. my first indent in subitem 2 b. my second indent in subitem 2 with the text that is in the Topic include

where what I want is this:

a. My top level item

1. my first submitem text
2. my second subitem text
   1. my first indent in subitem 2 b. my second indent in subitem 2 with the text that is in the Topic include
3. my third subitem text

(with the sequence number "3" and the first level indentation).

I found the answer. I need a %STOPINCLUDE% on my topic pages and then the calling formats are retained.
