Hi, Lisa,

(that's probably, "Hi, Neighbor", since we both use the same, geographically-restricted ISP :-)

Ok, thanks.  That's helped.  If anyone has time to take a quick look at this
first effort (link below) and let me know of any major / minor gaffes, then
I think I can proceed with more confidence and get something done.

Per your review request, here's what I see, most important first:

* Very nice work. All technical issues are quite minor.

* {{Documentation/Note| Your Stuff Goes Here (followed by) }}
That is, your note should replace the "Notable stuff" phrase in the example template call.

* {{Documentation/NeedsRework}}: You should remove this template call when you place the "Checked for technical accuracy" template.

* The example outline:
I am very curious if you specified, in Writer, a real outline format ("I.", "A.", "1.") and the SWP extension produced what shows on the wiki. That's sad, if true, because the SWP would not be translating it very well.
For your actual example, I would just cheat:
*I. Hound...
**A. Beagle...
**#13 inch...
&c.
However, the topic lead me on a fascinating expedition through the Wikipedia Help, exploring what the SWP should do. It should produce code something like:
<ol style="list-style-type:upper-roman">
<li>Hound...
<ol style="list-style-type:upper-alpha">
<li>Beagle...
#13 inch...
&c, with closures </ol>, &c.
This would be very useful if the list in question might require maintenance, but in this case it won't. /You/ don't have to produce anything like this.

I didn't make any changes to the wiki, in case you wanted to practice. If you prefer, I'll fix those things, so you can see what I mean.

Keep up the good work!
