767.0. "<list> Won't work across <head> tags. Help!" by DICKNS::PEPIN () Thu Aug 06 1987 11:22

    I am using the <list>(numbered) tag to write a series of instructions
    across several pages and across <head...> tags.  I am getting errors
    that the list is not terminated, when in fact it is terminated but
    not within the <head> tag that it was started in.  
    
    Does anyone know why this is not working?  or if this is possible
    to do?  Are lists restricted to only work within a <head...> tag?
    
    Thanks.

767.1Nope, you can't do it.COOKIE::JOHNSTONThu Aug 06 1987 13:2624
Lists must start and end within a single <headx> construct; you cannot
do what you are attempting to do.  To continue the list (which I am
assuming is a numbered or alphabetic list), you must keep track of the
number of list elements and start from that element in the new list
(gee, this sure sounds convulouted (sp?)). 


<head1>(Gather Dry Ingredients)
<list>(numbered)
<le>Flour
<le>Sugar
<le>Cocoa
<endlist>

<head2>(Gather Liquid Ingredients)
<list>(numbered\4)
<le>Amaretto
<le>Heavy Cream
<endlist>


See the discussion of <list> in Volume 1 for reams of information.
