Hi,
in the org manual (http://orgmode.org/manual/Plain-lists.html) i read that
I can start an ordered list at a particular number using an [@20] syntax:
If you want a list to start with a different value (e.g. 20), start the
text of the item with [@20]4<http://orgmode.org/manual/Plain-lists.html#fn-4>.
Those constructs can be used in any item of the list in order to enforce a
particular numbering.
I think I'm not understanding somehting though, as if I try this:
[@13]. thirteenth item
org doesn't seem to recognize the line as a list item. I'm running a
pretty recent org 7.8.11 from git. I'm sure I'm just reading the manual
wrong -- any hints? thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,
You have to start the text of the item with [@13].
Try:
13. [@13] this is the 13th item
Sincerely,
Andrew

The [@#] syntax has to come after the list item and before the item's
text. The following was created using Alt+Enter on each line, and
typing the content, the numbers automatically recalculate when you
create the next entry with Alt+Enter.
#+begin_src org
1. Test item 1
3. [@3] Item 3
4.
10. [@10] Item 10
11.
#+end_src
