Subject: Consecutive plain list items of different types
Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2023 20:41:11 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <da2eb361-5397-4205-b223-8f2e7518d4ad@app.fastmail.com> (raw)

The org-mode documentation[1] states for plain lists that:
> List types are mutually exclusive at the same level of indentation, if both types are present consecutively then they parse as separate lists.

first a minor nit-pick that "both" is probably not the correct word here since there are 3 types of lists, not two (unordered, ordered, and descriptive). I'd go with "multiple" instead IMO.

but more importantly, based on that description I would expect the following test document to parse into three separate plain lists, but it parses as a single plain list with 3 items:

```
1. foo
- bar
- lorem :: ipsum
```
