This trick is in the org-mode manual but it’s worth a quick mention in its own right. If you want to start a numbered list in org-mode from a number other than 1, then put [@N]
at the start of the first item, where N
is the number you want to start with. So for example,
1) item 1 2) item 2 This text would interrupt the list and the next item would be 1) on a new list 3) [@3] This will be item 3 thanks to [@3] 4) and this will be item 4
