How to stop numbered list from restarting back to 1 on a page

I’m trying to write a note that has steps 1, 2, 3, etc. The numbered list works except when I put an image or an information section using >[!info]. If I put something like that into step 3 (for example), step 4 becomes 1 instead of 4. How do I get add text on the next line without breaking the number sequence. For now, I have to use bullet points “- 1.”, - 2." which doesn’t look as clean as a simple numbered list.

Does manually renumbering the list work for you (just replace the 1 with whatever the sequential number should be and the list should continue thereafter)?

1. a list
2. another item
3. a third one

> [!NOTE] Title
> Contents

4. Fourth item
5. Fifth
6. sixth

## a heading

7. here is number 7
8. eight
9. nine
10. and ten

Unfortunately, no. Every time, I edit the number, say a 1 back to a 3, then hit enter to add the next item, 4, the number changes back to a 1. When I go to read mode, I have
“1.” this
“2.” that
picture or >[!info] text
“1.”
“2.”

frustrating but bullets with numbers - (1) work for now.

I had to add " " to get the text to show what I’m getting. I wish obsidian worked like this editor and keep the numbers in sequence.

Hi.

To paste raw text on the forum, put three backticks on the line above and the line below the block of text:

```
1. this  
2. that  

picture or >[!info] text  

3. Three
4. Four
```

If you can share some sample raw code, someone might be able figure out a solution for you. It should work.

Thanks for your help!

###### Using the saturation mixing ratio is used in the context of calculating the CCL:
1. **Calculate Lifting Condensation Level (LCL):** [[Lifting Condensation Level (LCL)#^915ab8|Determine the LCL]] using the initial temperature and dew point temperature of the air parcel, along with the adiabatic lapse rate. This gives you the altitude at which the parcel becomes saturated as it rises.
2.  **Determine Parcel's Mixing Ratio (w):** Calculate the mixing ratio (w) of the air parcel at the surface using the <span style="background:#fff88f"><u>actual</u> amount of water vapor present</span>. The mixing ratio represents the actual amount of water vapor in the air.  To determine the mixing ratio (w) of a parcel of air, you'll need to know the mass of water vapor (in grams) present in the parcel and the mass of dry air (in kilograms) that the parcel contains.

- 4. **Compare Mixing Ratios:** Compare the actual mixing ratio (w) of the air parcel with the saturation mixing ratio (w__s_). If w > w__s_ at the surface, it indicates that the air is already saturated or nearly saturated. This can suggest the potential for cloud formation even before the parcel reaches the CCL.
- 5. **Analyze CCL:** The Convective Condensation Level (CCL) is the altitude where the temperature of the rising air parcel matches the environmental temperature. If the actual mixing ratio (w) of the parcel exceeds the saturation mixing ratio (w__s_) at or below the CCL altitude, it suggests that cloud formation could occur as the air parcel rises to the CCL and condensation initiates.

Indent the callout to make it part of the preceding list item. See eightning’s post below — apparently callouts are a weird exception and you don’t indent them in this case like you would a normal blockquote or paragraph, unfortunately.

I’d also recommend putting spaces before and after it — it’s not always required but generally a good idea between to separate things in Markdown with blank lines.

Also, all of the > should have spaces after them.
