It's not really a list item. The list (steps in my routine) is interrupted by something (the cat) - the cat isn't part of the routine... > or it's a paragraph which splits two separate lists. ...and the routine certainly is one list, not two. > Either way, is > looks like the 'value' attribute can be used to achieve what > you're looking for visually. For the second option: <snip> > <ol> > <li value="4">Check the post.</li> > <li>Eat some breakfast.</li> > </ol> Unfortunately for me, the 'value' attribute is depreciated [VALUE], and unavailable in XHTML1.1 :-( Incidentally, I apologise if my replies to everyone's suggestions seem harsh. I'm trying to find the "proper" way to deal with this - for semantics as well as W3C reccomendations. If there's nothing the specs (full and draft) to support this, I think the W3C will need to add a way... Thanks for you suggestion.
