Author: M.Schouten

Description:
I need a numbered definition list. Simply combining # and ;: like this:
#;item1 : def1
#;item2 : def2
does not work; only the first list number is printed. If I add a newline:
#;item1 : def1

#;item2 : def2
then I get two lists, each starting with a one.
I think these things should nest.

Numbered lists and definition lists are separate things in HTML.

You should be able to 'fake it' well enough like this:
#item1
#:def1
#item2
#:def2

That should nest in the way you expect.
