Sebastian,

In the 'test.org' file *attached* in my previous mail, indentation was as you had suggested [you may verify or test/use that as a 'minimal example' to confirm]. I think text pasted into the email itself [under the title 'org content'] may have lost some white-space.

Thanks for the BEGIN_QUOTE suggestion.

Here's a funny thing I see:

If I use begin_quote, the exported html has list-items numbered correctly. However,

If I use begin_example, the numbering gets messed up again!

Attaching slightly modified version of org file and exported-html [ C-c C-e b ]

Hi Stephan,

list are made from indentation. The `#+begin_example' (did you mean
`#+begin_quote'?) must be indented to be considered a part of the first
list item. This way, it is considered the end of the list.

It should be:

* Simonisms
1. Kodachrome
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, It's a
wonder I can think at all
#+END_EXAMPLE
2. Sound of silence
