Description

If a bulleted list is followed by a numbered list or vice versa then the second list inherits the property of the first list.

HelpOnLists does not say anything about this.

Discussion

This is known. But is there a practical use case to just have adjacent lists of different type?

Usually you want to put something in between, like a headline or some text introducing the stuff in the list.

So, as you filed a bug, do you have a practical use case?

• Sometimes I'd like to use that in the sense of nested lists but without indenting the sublist, e.g. instead of writing

  1. first item
  1. second item consist of:
    * first subitem
    * second subitem

• I'd like to write

  1. first item
  1. second item consist of:
  * first subitem
  * second subitem

• but it doesn't work. -- rpr 2014-08-07 11:38:04
