[pmwiki-users] numbered list questions

[Radu]

Good point, Ian.

http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PageTableOfContents
is another good idea in the same direction.

Any sort of lists lose their usability if people stash lots of stuff inside 
the list itself. A list is nicely done if done with short lines; if 
anything needs details or explanation, it could go on a wikipage of its own.

The really neat trick would be to have the number captured by the link and 
included in a (:title:) directive on the target page, so that the pages 
would automatically get the right number, no matter how one shuffles the 
list. E.g.

#[[page 1]]
##[[page 1.1]]
#[[page 2]]

And each time a page with a list like this is edited, if the respective 
pages exist, they get the numbers at the beginning of their (:title:) 
directive modified to reflect the text that the #+ gets replaced with.

If it's not something many people would like, I'll look into modding the 
NumberedHeaders to do so and add a different recipe.

A problem may arise if the same page is included in more than one list. I 
wonder how this is dealt with in the WikiTrails...

While I check, if there are any suggestions, opinions, comments, they're 
welcome.
