[O] Trouble with ordered list start number

2011-06-25 Thread William Beard
Hello,
I see in the manual
http://orgmode.org/manual/Plain-lists.html
that with ordered lists, you can for example start one with the number
20 by starting the "text of the item with [@20]"
I assume this means I can just have a newline that looks like this

[@20] some text for this item

and hit M-Return after typing the text for the item, and have a `21. '
appear below it. But when I do, it gives me the top header (`*')
instead.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Chris

[O] possible table tutorial error

2011-04-17 Thread William Beard
Hello
I was looking at the table tutorial
[[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/tables.html][here]], and some
information conflicted with my Org setup. It says
"When columns are narrowed, it might be useful to temporary see the
content of a cell with C-c ..."
I couldn't get it to work with this combination, but C-u  worked
for me. I wasn't sure how else to report/fix this.

Thanks
Chris Beard

ps- for the sake of strict grammar, it should also probably say
"temporarily" instead of "temporary"
