Textile question: Looking for the easiest way to set the OL counter

Hi! I’ve been poring over the manuals for Textile classic and Textile 2.2, and I can’t find an easy way to do this. I have two ordered lists separated by a paragraph, like this:

#(#iAmList1) item 1
# item 2
# item 3

paragraph text

#(#iAmList2) item 4
# item 5
# item 6

Is there any way to set the counter of the second list so that it continues the numbering where the first list left off? I’d prefer a solution that uses inline styles in this case so that I don’t have the client editing the stylesheet when something like this is needed.

I’ve tried variations using counter-increment and counter-reset declarations, but so far nothing has worked:

#(#iAmList2){counter-reset: item 3} item 4
# item 5
# item 6

Thank you!

You need a CSS-declaration with xy:before { content: counter() ". "; etc. }.

See Sitepoint-Reference

Re: Textile question: Looking for the easiest way to set the OL counter

Thanks, GugUser. That’s what I expected. Since there’s no way to append the :before pseudo element using inline styles, it looks like the easiest way to get continuity between the lists is to use hand-numbered paragraphs instead of using the ordered list element.
