Renumbering lists within blocks within a post
-
I’m copying and pasting from a Word Document and up to this point over the past few weeks had not trouble. Today when I posted it converted the second of 2 lists by restarting the numbering at 1 even though it was continued numbering in my document. I’ve tried to renumber using html with this format <ol start'#') with # being the number I want to start the list with in the particular block. It will not renumber for me either in visual or code? Please advise and thanks.

Hi there,
The account you’re using to post here is not a user on loveandlordship.wordpress.com, so we can only provide very limited help.
Copying from a word processor into a wed editor is never guaranteed to work. This is because word processors use Rich Text Format (RTF), while web editors use HTML. These are two completely different types of code, with different ways for adding formatting to text.
The WordPress editor is pretty good at converting RTF to HTML most of the time, but there’s no guarantee. That’s why we always recommend, if you paste text prepared in a word processor, to paste it without any formatting, and add whatever formatting you want in the WordPress editor afterwards. This is especially true for stuff like lists, where a line break that’s incorrectly interpreted as a paragraph break can mess up the entire list.
