Note the word "optional" in the paragraph preceding this example. I think markdown's ideal of allowing the source to be readable should be understood as making possible and easy for the author to write markdown source that is readable. I don't see why it would make sense to _require_ them to make it readable. Sometimes I care that my source is easy to read, and in cases like that I can number all of my list items. In other cases I am the only person to sees the source, and numbering the items is just a waste of time. And tell me that the example above is more confusing then: 1. Item one 2. Item two 5. Item five 4. Item four 3. Item five > When I look at a list in the source document, I'd expect to see > a list. I don't know of very many (if any) cases where the Yes, I expect to see a list, but I also expect the numbers to be in order. A list without numbers is better in my opinion than a list with numbers out of order. And fixing the numbers after reordering the list is a pain. - yuri -- http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/ _______________________________________________ Markdown-Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/markdown-discuss
