--- Comment #16 from sdc.blanco at youmail.dk ---
Here is another way to understand "Continue previous numbering", which shows
that comment 10 can be understood as expected behavior. 

As noted in comment 14
> You can decide exactly what to include in Continue and what not. 

Here is the logic:

Start with a list, such as described in comment 0, steps 1-5.
Here is one with 5 items.

1. item 1
1. item 2
2. item 3
3. item 4
4. item 5

Technique 1.  Select item 1 and any of item 3, 4, or 5, (but not item 2),
right-click, "continue previous numbering"

   Result: makes the (expected?) continuous numbering 1-5 (for all 5 items).

Technique 2.   Select only items 2 and 3,  right-click, "continue previous
numbering"

    Result: gives  1.2.3 (for items 1-3) and 1.2. for items 4 and 5.  

In other words:

 Technique 1 allows you to make a continuous list by selecting the list item
added at top, plus an arbitrary item in the middle of the list.

 Technique 2 allows you to "add" as many items as you want from the original
list to the "new" first item.

Both techniques seem like meaningful workflows -- also for DF users -- and
could be (easily?) documented.

A better label for the command is: "Include in previous list"


(The techniques also works with bulleted lists, but with a directional effect,
described in bug 117233, comment 8)
