I'm formatting nested lists for print like this:
<para>
<orderedlist numeration="arabic">
<listitem><para></para></listitem>
<listitem><para></para></listitem>
<listitem><para></para></listitem>
<listitem><para></para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
<listitem><para></para></listitem>
<listitem><para></para></listitem>
<listitem><para></para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para></para></listitem>
<listitem><para></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
<listitem><para></para></listitem>
<listitem><para></para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para></para></listitem>
<listitem><para></para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
</para>
That does what I think you want.
Anyone know how to cause lists to be indented from the column margin?
That would be:
text . . .
text . . .
text . . .
text . . .
text . . .
text . . .
listitem_text . . .
listitem_text . . .
nested_list_item_text . . .
nested_list_item_text . . .
nested_list_item_text . . .
listitem_text . . . .
listitem_text . . . .
text . . . .
text . . . .
