Is there a proper way to skip one or multiple numbers in a numbered list in Discourse?

Hi.

Apparently, the value attribute of a <li> tag is removed.

So, is it possible to set an arbitrary number inside a list, for an element other than the first one?

  1. element 1
  2. element 2
  3. I’d like element 5 here

No, markdown does not support this. Closest is just “faking it”

(1) buy dough
(2) bake
(7) eat bread

Well, before it is closed, I’d add another workaround that looks nice if you separate your list elements with empty lines.

1. element 1

2. element 2
<div></div>

5. element 5

  1. element 1

  2. element 2

  1. element 5
