| / llarsen@sco.com (Lance F. Larsen) was heard to say:
| | The way I read the markup, the entirety of list 2 is contained within a
| | single element of list 1. Therefore the end of list 2 is not available
| | to be "continued from" after the close of the list item that contains
| | list 2, let alone after the close of list 1. So, the markup must assert
| | 6, not 3.
|
| What, then, should this produce:
|
| | <orderedlist id="list1">
| 1 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| 2 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| 3 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| 4 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| 5 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| | </orderedlist>
| |
| | <para>
| | <orderedlist id="list2">
| 1 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| 2 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| | </orderedlist>
| | </para>
| |
| | <orderedlist id="list3" continuation="continues">
| ? | <listitem id="citem">...</listitem>
| ? | <listitem>...</listitem>
| | </orderedlist>
3 and 4. What's significant (although apparently we
need to say it) is nesting with orderedlists, not
nesting within other elements.
That would allow some abuse; I wouldn't expect an
orderedlist within a Note to continue the numbering
of an orderedlist above and outside the Note, but
I would regard that as an editorial fault, not a
stylesheet fault.
