The [@#] syntax has to come after the list item and before the item's text. The following was created using Alt+Enter on each line, and typing the content, the numbers automatically recalculate when you create the next entry with Alt+Enter. #+begin_src org 1. Test item 1 3. [@3] Item 3 4. 10. [@10] Item 10 11. #+end_src > org doesn't seem to recognize the line as a list item. I'm running a pretty > recent org 7.8.11 from git.
