1. Could you
2. type the numbers in yourself, as I'm doing here (and ensuring one point extends beyond the line to see what that looks like).
3. And separate each point with an empty line.
4. Hmmm. The only thing I don't like much is the line extending underneath the number without being offset.
5. Also, you would have to manually change the numbers if inserting or deleting anything.
6. Well, just a thought.
Like k@ri, I've just given up and use bullet points instead. But yes, it does bug me that I've been forced into that.
I reckon it's probably possible to do this by editing the HTML of the text capsule and specifying a start value. Hubpages allows very little manipulation of HTML so it may or may not be possible. I'll do some research and see whether I can do it.
Ok so here's two lists:
1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3
Blah Blah Blah
4. Item 4
5. Item 5
6. Item 6
This is what the HTML should be to implement it.
start = "4" tells the ordered list to start at 4. Unfortunately when you change the HTML to do this, the extra bit of code gets stripped out. I'm sure HubPages could add support for this, but maybe there are other consequences or complications that could arise.
<ol>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
</ol>
<p>Blah Blah Blah</p>
<ol start = "4">
<li>Item 4</li>
<li>Item 5</li>
<li>Item 6</li>
</ol>

This might be a workaround.

The "start" attribute was discontinued in HTML 4, but was reintroduced in HTML 5. I think it's just not possible to use it because it gets stripped from the code editor in text capsules.

Maybe you could request the option in the "Feature Suggestions" forum?
You can change the type of the list marker (e.g. instead of numbers, use letters or Roman numerals). Also you can change the shape of bullets:

I use callout capsules with the number and a short description, then a text box with the longer text.
by TessSchlesinger 9 years ago
I don't know the answer. I would manually change #s 5 through 10.I did want to point out though that you have one capsule in twice, about Google Chrome having bugs, so you have 15 numbers instead of 10. This might just be because you were working on the hub right now, so probably not a real...

Hi - I have an article here that's been accepted to go to a niche site, but the editor wants me to convert some of my text modules to numbered lists of steps. The numbering feature isn't working for me. I am copying and pasting the steps, which are full paragraphs, and then when I hit enter it...

I want to split up a long capsule of numbered options. However, if I do that, my numbering starts at one again. Is there any way to start the numbering in the next capsule at the next number in the series? For example, if I want numbered options 1-5 in the first capsule and 6-10 in the next...
