Paragraphs in lists

For simplicity, list items in wiki markup cannot be longer than a paragraph. A following blank line will end the list and reset the counter on ordered lists. Seperating unordered list items usually has no noticable effects.

Paragraphs can be forced in lists by using HTML tags. Two line break symbols, <br><br>, will create the desired effect. So will enclosing all but the first paragraph with <p>...</p>

For a list with items of more than one paragraph long, adding a blank line between items may be necessary to avoid confusion.

Continuing a list item after a sub-item

In HTML, a list item may contain several sublists, not necessarily adjacent; thus there may be parts of the list item not only before the first sublist, but also between sublists, and after the last one; however, in wiki-syntax, sublists follow the same rules as sections of a page: the only possible part of the list item not in sublists is before the first sublist.

In the case of an unnumbered first-level list in wikitext code this limitation can be overcome by splitting the list into multiple lists; indented text between the partial lists may visually serve as part of a list item after a sublist; however, this may give, depending on CSS, a blank line before and after each list, in which case, for uniformity, every first-level list item could be made a separate list.

Numbered lists illustrate that what should look like one list may, for the software, consist of multiple lists; unnumbered lists give a corresponding result, except that the problem of restarting with 1 is not applicable.

<ol>
  <li>list item A1
    <ol>
      <li>list item B1</li>
      <li>list item B2</li>
    </ol>continuing list item A1
  </li>
  <li>list item A2</li>
</ol>

#list item A1
##list item B1
##list item B2
#:continuing list item A1
#list item A2

One level deeper, with a sublist item continuing after a sub-sublist, one gets even more blank lines; however, the continuation of the first-level list is not affected:

#list item A1
##list item B1
###list item C1
##:continuing list item B1
##list item B2
#list item A2

gives

1. list item A1
   1. list item B1
      1. list item C1

      continuing list item B1

   2. list item B2
2. list item A2

Changing the list type

The list type (which type of marker appears before the list item) can be changed in CSS by setting the list-style-type property:

<ol style="list-style-type:lower-roman">
  <li>About the author</li>
  <li>Foreword to the first edition</li>
  <li>Foreword to the second edition</li>
</ol>

Extra indentation of lists

In a numbered list in a large font, some browsers do not show more than two digits, unless extra indentation is applied (if there are multiple columns: for each column).

:#abc
:#def
:#ghi
 

<ul>
  <ol>
    <li>abc</li>
    <li>def</li>
    <li>ghi</li>
  </ol>
</ul>

<ul>
#abc
#def
#ghi
</ul>

To demonstrate that all three methods show all digits of 3-digit numbers, see Help:List demo.

Specifying a starting value

Specifying a starting value is only possible with HTML-syntax:

<ol start="9">
<li>Amsterdam
<li>Rotterdam
<li>The Hague
</ol>

gives

9. Amsterdam <li>Rotterdam <li>The Hague </ol>
   [edit]

   Comparison with a table

   Apart from providing automatic numbering, the numbered list also aligns the contents of the items, comparable with using table syntax:

   {|
   |-
   | align=right |  9.||Amsterdam
   |-
   | align=right | 10.||Rotterdam
   |-
   | align=right | 11.||The Hague
   |}
   

   gives

   9.	Amsterdam
   10.	Rotterdam
   11.	The Hague

   This non-automatic numbering has the advantage that if a text refers to the numbers, insertion or deletion of an item does not disturb the correspondence.

   [edit]

   Multi-column bulleted list

   {| 
   | 
   *1
   *2 
   | 
   *3
   *4
   |}
   

   gives:

   1 2

   3 4

   Multi-column numbered list

   Specifying a starting value is useful for a numbered list with multiple columns, to avoid restarting from one in each column. As mentioned above, this is only possible with HTML-syntax (for the first column either wiki-syntax or HTML-syntax can be used).

   In combination with the extra indentation explained in the previous section:

   {| valign="top"
   |-
   |<ul><ol start="125"><li>a<li>bb<li>ccc</ol></ul>
   |<ul><ol start="128"><li>ddd<li>ee<li>f</ol></ul>
   |}
   

   gives

   <li>a<li>bb<li>ccc

   <li>ddd<li>ee<li>f
