Continuing a numbered list

Continuing a numbered list

[DJ]

Can't figure this out from the org mode manual.

I want to use org mode for doing math assignments. This will be a lot 
easier than using latex directly, I think. But, I want to use numbered 
lists in org mode, and often there are multiple paragraphs that belong 
under one list item.
I want to be able to use org mode tables instead of latex tabular, and 
these tables sometimes appear in the middle of a bunch of paragraphs 
under a single list item.

I know how to get multiple paragraphs in one numbered list item. But how 
can I stick a table in the middle of my multiple-paragraph list item 
without terminating the list? Such as:

1. blah blah\\
     yatta yatta
| m | n | foo |
|---+---+-----|
| x  | y  | z     |
     and this text should be part of item 1. That is the real problem - 
a paragraph AFTER the table which should
     belong to item 1.
2. This is the next item. I could use a cookie here to force start at 2, 
I know.

TIA.

Best,

Jake.

indenting the table should do the trick:

===================

1. blah blah
    yatta yatta
   | m | n | foo |
   |---+---+-----|
   | x | y | z   |

     and this text should be part of item 1. That is the real problem -
a paragraph AFTER the table which should
     belong to item 1.

2. This is the next item. I could use a cookie here to force start at 2,
I know.

Try simply indenting the table. For aesthetics/reaability I like it to
line up with the list-item paragraph, but you should be OK as long as it
starts in any column to the right of the list item number.

Indent the table, e.g.

#+begin_src org
  1. blah blah
   
     yatta yatta

     | m | n | foo |
     |---+---+-----|
     | x | y | z   |

     and this text should be part of item 1. That is the real problem -

#+end_src

OMG (facepalm). I *thought* I had already tried that, since it's the 
obvious thing to do.

Thanks for your help.
