Wow --- thats interresting.

Let's assume the lists will restart, then I would expect:
1.
1.A.
A.i.
i.a.

since:
LS1=< {"1"/1}, {"1"/2}, {"1"/3}, {"1"/4}, … >
LS2=< {"1"/1}, {"A"/2}, {"1"/3}, {"1"/4}, … >
LS3=< {"A"/1}, {"i"/2}, {"1"/3}, {"1"/4}, … >
LS4=< {"i"/1}, {"a"/2}, {"1"/3}, {"1"/4}, … >

However I woudn't expect the lists to restart --- can you point me to the relevant ODF1.1 spec line? I would expect:
1. 
2.A.
C.ii.
iv.c.

--or--

1.
2.A.
3.ii.
4.c.

However I would  ~never~ expect:
1.
1.1.
A.A.
i.i.

/me is quite confused.

I agree. That's what I would expect, too. I believe Oliver just
stepped into the wrong row.

It's section 4.3.1.2 Continue Numbering

"By default, the first list item in a list starts with the number 
specified in the list style. The continue numbering attribute can be 
used to continue the numbering from the preceding list."

together with 14.10.4.4 Start Value



The first sentence of 4.3 Lists further says:

"The OpenDocument format supports list structures, similar to those 
found in [HTML4]."

List restart in HTML, too.

Sorry for the confusion.

I agree. But this is exactly why I hate the fact that list styles define all 10 levels in one style. It just makes no sense.

In order to get
 1.
 2.A.
 3.ii.
 4.c.
I would like to be able to define
 LS1=< {"1"/1} at depth 1 >
 LS2=< {"A"/2} at depth 2 >
 LS3=< {"i"/2} at depth 2 >
 LS4=< {"a"/2} at depth 2 >
This is what KOffice does: a list level defines one level, not 10.
Then the number of the parent paragraph that appears due to display-levels=2 always has
the same formatting as the one that was actually used for that paragraph. Referring
to a paragraph called "1." as "A." makes no sense!

Of course you can get the above result by making sure all list levels start with "1"/1 but that's just
duplication of information.
