Numbered list across table rows

[kerimucci]

Hi,

I am trying to create a checklist to be used to deploy our software in PDF/HTML5 formats. I created a table where I list one task per row, and I'd like the numbered list to continue numbering across each row. I created the class ol.TableBullet and applied it, but it is restarting at 1 in each row. How can I achieve what I am after?

That unfortunately isn't working in this case. It does within paragraphs, but not tables.

I think you might need to set up a p class with autonumbering and include your steps as paragraphs within your tables. I'm not certain as I don't use p classes with autonumbers (I can get away with just using ol and ul for my lists), but that might do the trick for you.

Thanks, ChoccieMuffin. That seems to be the only way to get it working as I need it to.

ChoccieMuffin to the rescue!

It seems to be working perfectly in my tables.
I came from FrameMaker years ago with those p autonumber classes and have always keep the autonumber p class around for cross-references to steps.

Hi, you can also adjust the list number manually, that saves you the hassle of having to deal with autonumbers.

• Right-click on the the ul/ ol in the structure bar on the left
  Select "List Start Number"
  Set the number

Shredder is right, and that solution is probably fine for a once-off where you really need to set the list to start at a specific number. But I don't think it's a good idea for a consistent structure like the checklist, because each time you add a new step to one of the sections, you'd need to manually update the list-start-number on every following section! Best to let Flare handle it automatically for you.
