1a, 1b, etc.

[goldberg988]

When using an autonumbered list (using # at the head of each line), is there a way to indicate something like

1.
2.
3.
4a.
4b.
5.
6a.
6b.
6c.

Thanks LM

As far as I am aware, there isn't a straightforward way to do this with MediaWiki syntax (which is the backend for IMSLP's formatting). The way I have worked around this issue is to use HTML syntax and indented lists as follows:

Code: Select all

<ol>
<li> List item 1 </li>
<li> List item 2 </li>
<li> List item 3 </li>
<li> List item 4 [and a placeholder description of 4a and 4b] </li>
  <ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha"> 
  <li> List item 4a </li>
  <li> List item 4b </li>
  </ol>
<li> List item 5 </li>
<li> List item 6 [and a placeholder description of 6a, 6b and 6c] </li>
  <ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha"> 
  <li> List item 6a </li>
  <li> List item 6b </li>
  <li> List item 6c </li>
  </ol>
</ol>

Which produces:

Code: Select all

1. List item 1
2. List item 2
3. List item 3
4. List item 4 [and a placeholder description of 4a and 4b]
	a. List item 4a
	b. List item 4b
5. List item 5
6. List item 6 [and a placeholder description of 6a, 6b and 6c]
	a. List item 6a
	b. List item 6b
	c. List item 6c

Hopefully that's clear enough for you to go ahead and make the list!
