Aligment of paragraph numbered lists

242 posts

I am writting a document with some long numbered sections.
Since they are long I'd like to have different paragrahs in each one, but when I insert a line break, the paragrah is not aligned with the previous one, that is left aligned with the number, but it's aligned with the left margin of the document.

Smashing the keyboard (no kidging) I've found a weird solution. Inserting this "[]" between lines makes it work...but I'm curious if this is an intended or an unwanted feature.
If it is unwanted, what's the best way to align the paragraphs?

[start={counter2:index:1}]
. *Title 1*
// single paragraph
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt

[start={counter:index}]
. *Title 2*
// multiple paragraphs
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ed.
[]
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt
[]
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt

thanks as always :)

I would use plus symbol "+" because it is the Asciidoctor line break

http://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#line-breaks

e.g.
[start={counter:index}]
. *Title 2*
// multiple paragraphs
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ed.
+
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt
+
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt

Taking that a step further, you can combine the list continuation (+) with an open block.

. *Title 2*
+

--
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ed.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt

Whenever you have a long and/or multi-block list item, I always recommend wrapping the content of the list item in an open block. Then you can stop worrying about blank lines for the rest of that list item. Just write.
