      Currently, in the rich text editor, if one uses a number list and then uses, say, a bullet, and then continues with a number list, the numbering restarts. We would like to be able to continue the numbering when that happens.

       

      Summary

      When using numbered lists we, as a user, might need to insert complex text formatting between list numbers. Currently, this is only possible by using the SHIFT+ENTER method, which indents the text.

       

      Why is this important

      Numbered lists may require complex text formatting within each list number (technical documents for example) and using the SHIFT+ENTER option indents text and can break the visual parameters needed for the documentation.

      Also, having a feature that allows the user to simply determine that the numbered list count should start from where it left prior to this moment is easier than using SHIFT+ENTER with each line break.

       

      Workaround

      Use SHIFT+ENTER to create a new line without affecting the numbering.
