OK then... make a separate paragraph format for each number you
need, and set it directly with "X:<n=5>" etc. Then "thread" all
formats using Next P Tag.

Then use a sensible HTML/Help converter that picks up the
autonumber directly instead of trying to calculate it by itself.

(Is there really *any* reason why an HTML converter would *not*
look at the actual autonumber which FM stores for each paragraph,
and instead trying to figure it out by HTML's own autonumbering?
Maybe if you must have HTML code that doesn't support explicit
setting of the numbering in a list...)
