==Continuing a list item after a sub-item== In HTML, a list item may contain several sublists, not necessarily adjacent; thus there may be parts of the list item not only before the first sublist, but also between sublists, and after the last one. However, in wiki-syntax, sublists follow the same rules as sections of a page: the only possible part of the list item not in sublists is before the first sublist. In the case of an unnumbered first-level list in wikitext code this limitation can be overcome by splitting the list into multiple lists; indented text between the partial lists may visually serve as part of a list item after a sublist; however, this may give, depending on CSS, a blank line before and after each list, in which case, for uniformity, every first-level list item could be made a separate list. Numbered lists illustrate that what should look like one list may, for the software, consist of multiple lists; unnumbered lists give a corresponding result, except that the problem of restarting with 1 is not applicable. {| style="border:1px;border-spacing:1px;" class="wikitable sortable" cellpadding="5" |- style="" | <pre><ol> <li><translate><!--T:28--> list item</translate> A1 <ol> <li><translate><!--T:29--> list item</translate> B1</li> <li><translate><!--T:30--> list item</translate> B2</li> </ol><translate><!--T:31--> continuing list item</translate> A1 </li> <li><translate><!--T:32--> list item</translate> A2</li> </ol></pre> | <ol> <li> list item A1 <ol> <li>list item B1</li> <li>list item B2</li> </ol>continuing list item A1 </li> <li>list item A2</li> </ol> |- style="font-weight:bold;text-align:center;" | colspan="2" | vs. |- style="" |<pre> #list item A1 ##list item B1 ##list item B2 #:continuing list item A1 #list item A2</pre> | #list item A1 ##list item B1 ##list item B2 #:continuing list item A1 #list item A2 |} One level deeper, with a sublist item continuing after a sub-sublist, one gets even more blank lines; however, the continuation of the first-level list is not affected: <pre> #list item A1 ##list item B1 ###list item C1 ##:continuing list item B1 ##list item B2 #list item A2 </pre> gives #list item A1 ##list item B1 ###list item C1 ##:continuing list item B1 ##list item B2 #list item A2 It is possible to embed unnumbered bullets inside enclosing numbered items: <pre> # list item A #* nested bullet A1 #* nested bullet A2 # continuing list item B #* nested bullet B1 #* nested bullet B2 </pre> gives # list item A #* nested bullet A1 #* nested bullet A2 # continuing list item B #* nested bullet B1 #* nested bullet B2
