OK, so here is my solution in case anyone else runs into the same problem: To keep listitems together with elements that follow it (this applies to ALL numbered lists in the document, so do not use this method if that matters to you):
Create an asciidoc.conf file with the following content: ========asciidoc.conf========= [listtags-numbered] item=<listitem><?dbfo keep-together="always"?>|</listitem> ============================== You can add the same setting for [listtags-bulleted] if you want the keep-together to apply to bulleted lists as well. The asciidoc.conf file should be in the same directory as your Asciidoc source text file. You must use FOP for PDF output, as dblatex PDF output does not appear to respect the keep-together tag (although it could perhaps be tweaked to handle it, but that is beyond me).
