@Justin_H have you tried @Springer’s suggestion of the ; and :? including multiples
eg;
;Top
: this
: that
:: the other
Something
: without dt
:: double
resulting html
<dl><dt>Top</dt><dd>this</dd><dd>that<dl><dd>the other</dd></dl></dd></dl><p>Something</p><dl><dd>without dt<dl><dd>double</dd></dl></dd></dl>
One advantage of this is you can use the aformentioned .classname on the “Top” and the class will apply to the whole list. This was discussed recently when someone made a note class for this see link below.
Personally I also hacked the autolist plugin to also treat : like * on enter.
Of note is using * or # does something very similar, to the dt and dt tags and wraps it all in <ul> or <ol>
- It would be great if we could apply a classname to
<ul>or<ol>like we can<dl> - This would be more semantic than using
;and:.
