RE: Numbered list item picks up from preceding nested list item

["Lester C. Smalley" <lsmalley@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can include the number or letter followed by a colon, you simply
type the desired text into the EDD as content of the "Autonumber Format"
element.

However, I believe that you really want instead of designating these
items as different numbering series (which is what the A: or N: do) you
should include an EmptyCounter building block (will display as < > )
before your existing counter.  One empty counter should be used for each
level of nesting, so a second-level list (first nested list)  has one, a
third level list has two, etc.

For example:

If level is 1:
    ...
  If context is: {first}
    Numbering properties
       Autonumber format: <n=1>.\t
  Else
    Numbering properties
       Autonumber format: <n+>.\t
 
 Else, if level is: 2
    If context is: ul
       Numbering properties
          Autonumber format: \b\t
    Else
       If context is: {first}
          Numbering properties
             Autonumber format: < ><a=1>.\t
    Else
       Numbering properties
          Autonumber format: < ><a+>.\t
