Hi all, I'm currently writing an introductory guide for software developers, and came across a use-case that I don't think the Mallard spec currently addresses completely. I would like to have a numbered list in the following format: 1. Short, emphasised item title (bold) Longer format text which goes into detail about the subject of this point. 2. ... The reason for this is that I would like to summarise the content of each step with a little emphasis, to facilitate scanning of the list, and then to have comparatively de-emphasised content that provides the detailed information for each point. The idea is that the reader may want to skip some steps, but not others. I don't want to make the user have to start reading the start of each list item before they decide whether to skip it or not. I could abuse <steps> slightly to achieve this, like so: <steps> <item> <p><em style="strong">Short, emphasised item title</em></p> <p>Longer format text which goes into detail about the subject of this point.</p> </item> </steps> but I think the following would probably be cleaner and less tied to a specific processing tool implementation: <steps> <item> <title>Short, emphasised item title</title> <p>Longer format text which goes into detail about the subject of this point.</p> </item> </steps> Thanks, Phil -- Phil Bull
