Problem:

   Unable to create a numbered list(CONTINUNG) when adding a table in one of the steps.
   Unable to figure the line break that compels a new numbered list to start.
       How do I fix this?

EXAMPLE

---

1. Instruction 1
2. Instruction 2
   
3. Instruction 3
   1. Sub-list
      1. sub-list
   2. Sub-list
4. Instruction 4
   • category 2
5. Instruction 5
   

Example

Example

1. Instruction 6 - I am trying to make this list item continue from the list above. i.e 6 instead of starting a new list at 1 again.

I have the same problem

I figured one solution. Adding ComplexList extension <cl></cl> tag. This can be found at Extension:ComplexList

It works perfectly fine. It's pretty cool and simple- it lets you define your list with much ease(alpha, roman, numeric, etc)

Thanks a million!

I figured out the easiest way might be hard-code the html code by using <ol>...</ol> and <li>...</li>. I know it is dirty but it works if you do not want to install additional extension.

1. category 2
2. Instruction 5

As user from IP 203.70.194.104 suggests, you have to use some HTML. another way is to use HTML to define your table - as long as you don't use line breaks. and getting lines as separators might be difficult too.

1. Instruction 1
2. Instruction 2

3. Instruction 3 - this list item continues from the list above.

I know this is an old thread. Seeing as how this page is locked down and We can not see the actual wiki formatting could someone post the actual Wiki code used in the above example please?

Example 1 Using HTML for the list:

<ol>
<li> category 2</li>
<li> Instruction 5<br>
{| class="wikitable"
| Example || Example || Example
|}
</li>
<li> '''Instruction 6 - I am trying to make this list item continue from the list above. i.e 6 instead of starting a new list at 1 again.'''</li>
</ol>

Example 2 using HTML for the table:

# Instruction 1
# Instruction 2 <table style="border: 1px solid black;"><tr><td>Example  </td><td>Example  </td><td>Example </td></tr></table>
# '''Instruction 3 - this list item continues from the list above. '''
