Question

Any way to have org-mode continue a numbered list rather than restarting?

Here is the situation. You make a list like:

Sometimes you can restart the display by doing something like this:

1. Hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 to open up a terminal.
2. Enter the following two commands:

#+BEGIN_SRC bash

export DISPLAY=:0.0

cinnamon –replace

#+END_SRC

\3. Then hit Ctrl-Alt-F8 to go back to the window manager.

Both the markdown editor and org-mode want the #3 to be #1, restarting the list after the code block.

SOLUTION below. Now it looks perfect. Here’s a tip for recovering when Cinnamon locks up in Ubuntu 12.04 or Mint 13.

Answer 1

Try indenting the #+BEGIN_SRC block, so it “looks” like it’s a child of item number 2 instead of a top-level item. Does doing that fix your problem?

Like this:

 1. Hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 to open up a terminal.
 2. Enter the following two commands:

    #+BEGIN_SRC bash

        export DISPLAY=:0.0

        cinnamon --replace

    #+END_SRC

 3. Then hit Ctrl-Alt-F8 to go back to the window manager
