Thanks for pointing it out. Indeed It was a very difficult thing to spot for
a mono-spaced font :-D

Since version 3.0 when ODF 1.2 was adopted numbering has been a royal pain
in the neck. I was hoping it was solved but actually it hasn't. The only way
I know to fix the problem when it occurs is to create again the list from
scratch and copy the text taking care of avoiding to copy the whole
paragraph...

No problem with the odt file although now I am curious to know if change
bars can be used in a template.

The note on the use of the emphasis character style is also very good. We
discussed it a while ago on the list and we agreed to use the italic to
indicate tabs, however it is one of those things quite hard to remember
while drafting and indeed there are several inconsistencies even within the
same chapter... I guess that's one of the prices to pay for the cooperative
work.

Let me know if you spot other mistakes.

I will wait a few more days before uploading a revised version of the
template.

Cheers,

Michele
