These styles make up the set of paragraph styles for ordered and
unordered lists that date way back to version 1.x, but which never were
really explained much outside of the OOo/LO user guides. Also, the
factory-default formatting for these styles is not in general agreement
throughout the Ns (worse in OOo than in LO). They appear to be much
unlike the human appendix--somewhat useless in its original form but
which can be made useful.
I assume that the N was originally meant to refer to the level of
nesting of lists, which itself would almost always use indentation.
Because their factory-default formatting is somewhat inconsistent, their
parameters should be reformatted by the users (or template designers) in
order to be made to work better .

Hi :)
I have cc'd your question to the documentation team for them to consider for the next set of guides.
Which documentation? Is it in the Guides that appear on these 2 pages?
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
(all the guides that appear in the first link are also in the 2nd but the 2nd
has a lot more and includes 3rd party documentation too)
If you mean the help files that you get when you click on "Help" inside the
program then you might find the guides tend to be a lot more up-to-date and helpful.
Thanks and regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Paragraph styles for list styles

Hi all,
I find this description in the documentation very misleading:
"""
Each of the list styles predefined in Writer has four associated
paragraph styles. For example, the
Numbering 1 list style is associated with four paragraph styles:
Numbering 1
Numbering 1 Cont.
Numbering 1 End
Numbering 1 Start
"""
In what sense list style "Numbering 1" is related to paragraph styles
"Numbering 1 *"? What one can see is that the N in paragraph styles
"Numbering N *" is related to indentation level and not intended for
working in tandem with the list style "Numbering N". One can use
paragraph style "Numbering 1" with any of the list styles, because
concerns seem to be completely orthogonal.
Can you clarify the relationship between paragraph styles "Numbering N
*" and list style "Numbering N"?
What scenarios are paragraph styles "Numbering N *" and "List N *" intended for?
Thank you a lot
