Is there a method to enter paragraph text following a numbered or
unnumbered list?
For Example:
1. Some text
2. Some text
List continue text
3. Some text

It is important for me to have the numbering continue after the list
continue text.

Thanks for you help

You can use the {{CSSclassname{...}}} syntax to create a "wrapper"
element around the paragraph of content. If the wrapper *starts* on
the same line as the bullet item, then the paragraph will be properly
indented and the item numbering will be continued following the close
of the wrapper, as desired.

Like this:

#Some text
#Some text{{foobar{
List continue text
may be several lines long with
formatting and other wiki syntax
}}}
#Some text
#etc.

Note that the actual classname used to define the wrapper isn't really
important: it doesn't even have to exist in your StyleSheet
definitions. In fact, if you make sure that the classname you use is
*not* defined, then it will ensure that that the wrapper does not add
any extra, unintended styles to the paragraph it contains.

Also note: there are a whole bunch of convenient 'formatting shortcut'
CSS classes pre-defined here:
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#StyleSheetShortcuts

Import this tiddler into your document, and then add:
[[StyleSheetShortcuts]]
to the end of your StyleSheet tiddler. This will incorporate the
'shortcut' classes into your styles, so that you can then use them
with the {{classname{...}}} syntax to easily apply common styles to
your content.

enjoy,

Hi,
See: http://apm-plugins.tiddlyspot.com/#LineBreakHack if it does,
what you want. It changes the behaviour of the formatter. So it makes
a global change of how \n is rendered.

According to your use of linebreaks, it may effect also some text in
the sidebars.

At the moment I don't know an other way.

GRR... GoogleGroups added blank lines where none should be! Elminate
the extra blank lines in the above example (otherwise the numbering
and paragraphs spacing will be wrong).

Hi Mario,
Thanks for the suggestion. That's basically what I have been doing,
but I was hoping to use a formatting tag instead to make the source
look cleaner.
I use MS Word a lot and make heavy use of its List Continue style, so
would ideally like to reproduce that behaviour in tiddlywiki

Cheers

Does this not do what you want?

For Example:
#Some text
#Some text
::List continue text
#Some text

The example you pointed out doesn't work:

#Some text
#Some text{{foobar{
List continue text
may be several lines long with
formatting and other wiki syntax
}}}
#Some text
#etc.

I'd like to indent several lines on one of the bulleted item and it would have also two lines of code (some shell commands) like

#Some text number one
#Some text number two
   several lines of text
   that must be indented
   ```
   code line 1
   code line2
   ```
#Some text number three
#Some text number four

Would it be possible?

Indeed... i

ts old, but I didn't want to open a new topic to just to discuss something that was already raised.

I'm using TW5 (5.1.10).

Hi Jake,

as far as I know, this is only possible if you switch to html tags:

#Some text number one
#<div>

   several lines of text
   that must be indented
   <pre>

   code line 1
   code line2
   </pre>
</div>

#Some text number three
#Some text number four

Hi Jake,
 
ts old, but I didn't want to open a new topic to just to discuss something that was already raised.

TiddlyWiki5 and TiddlyWiki classic are not the same at all.
Possibly, the group description should reflect that a tiny bit better.

In other words, you're talking apples when wanting to discuss pears.
What you could use for your desired outcome is html forcing block-mode, e.g.:

# foo
# bar <div>

baz

```
mumble frotz <gronk>
```

</div>
# ok!

Best wishes,

Tobias.

Hi guys,

As I'm recommending Tiddlywiki for people that are not familiar with any coding, I was hoping to use only wikitext notation,
however using html, obviously, won't be a problem.

@Tobias The topic subject was not tagged with [TW5]. Guessing from its creation year, 2010, it is pre TW5.
I should have noted. My bad!

Many thanks to Felix and Tobias!

All the best,
J.

Hi, Jake —

If you want to avoid HTML tags, triple quotes will do the trick, too:

#This is list item 1.
#"""This is list item 2.

It goes on a ways.
As you can see.

On multiple lines, even."""
#And this is list item 3.

;)
