Number and Bullet Lists

You create bullets and numbered lists by using an "*" asterisk or "#" hash as the first character on a line. eg

* bullets
## numbered list depth two
* bullets
** indented bullets

# numbered list
# numbered list
## indented list
## indented list
### depth 3 indented list
### more
## and more
# and more

• bullets

1. numbered list depth two

• bullets
  • indented bullets

1. numbered list
2. numbered list
   1. indented list
   2. indented list
      1. depth 3 indented list
      2. more
   3. and more
3. and more

Warning: when you use # inside headers, the first level won't be numbered. The source mentions this 'looks stupid'. Also see this NumberedHeadingsExample

Definition Lists

A definition list can be created by placing a ";" semicolon as the first character on a line, and using a ":" colon to separate the term from the definition. The colon must be on the same line as the semicolon; Definitions can be indented by repeated use of the ";" semicolon. eg

;Term:Definition
;Verse:The owl and the pussy cat went to sea

;;Indented Term:Definition of an indented term

Term

Definition

Verse

The owl and the pussy cat went to sea

Indented Term

Question

Does anyone know a way to force numbered lists to continue the numbering sequence after an included bulleted list? I'm looking for the effect of

 

   
 1. Blah
   
 2. Blah blah
      

        
 * snark
        
 * snack
      
   
 3. Blorp
 

But what I get when I use # and ** is

 1. Blah
 2. Blah blah
    * snark
    * snack
 1. Blorp

TIA, John Scott

You can "fake" it by using <br>, so it looks like this:

1. Blah
2. Blah blah
   * snark
   * snack
3. Blorp
