Having sorted indents (and blowing my EDD out from 11 pages to 24) I'm now being haunted by numbering.

I have a formatchangelist (listformats) which does the appropriate alignment stuff for any kind of list. This fcl is pulled in by several elements: steps, list, bulletlist, etc. I have a fairly involved piece of formatting which sets up numbering (or bulleting) formats for any kind of list item: step, listitem, component, bullet, etc., {first} or not, suitably sequenced at whatever level it finds itself.

Simple lists are working fine, as are simple nested lists. The problem I'm having is where a list item is not simple, e.g. it consists of several paragraphs, or a table followed by some text, or some complex mix of elements. Because we are trying to exploit EDD-based (inherited) formatting, of course all paragraph-type elements appearing in any type of list are inheriting the numbering properties of the parent step, bullet, or listitem. Ugh.

What is the correct solution here? Do I have to explicitly turn off paragraph-numbering in any paragraph-type element that is not step, bullet or listitem? I hope not! Is there some kind of context rule that I can wrap the formatting in (so that it will be inherited de-activated, as it were)? That would be preferable, but at the moment the necessary logic is just a haze to me. Help!

Thanks
