Hi

I have a list that has a some dropdown text after step 3 and before step 4. However, I can't get step 4 to actually begin at 4. It reverts to 1. The General properties shows the list item value for "Restart numbering at" as 4, and the HTML looks OK to me:

 

<ol class="List0" data-start="4" xmlns="">
<li style="counter-reset: item1 3;" value="4">If you ...

 

The ol class is the same as the the ol class for the top part of the list (items 1 to 3), but still the bottom part of the list starts at 1 when everything suggest that it shoudl start at 4. I must be missing something. Can someone please help?

 

Geoffrey

    Could you have the dropdown and following list nested within the original list? That could result in the numbering not working the way you expect.

     

    eg.

    <ol>
      <li>step1</li>
      <li>Step2
        <p>dropdown content</p>
        <ol>
          <li>Step 3, but I'm nested so I don't work as expected</li>
        </ol>
      </li>
    </ol>

     

    Does that make sense?
