Is there any way to get blank lines in ordered list?

Added by Wes Christensen over 13 years ago

The ordered list mechanism:

  1. item 1
  2. item 2
  3. item 3

starts over with "1" if there is a blank line:

  1. item 1
  1. item 1 again
  1. item 1 again

Is there any way to get an ordered list with blank lines between the list elements to improve readability:

1. Item 1

2. Item 2

3. Item 3

No, a blank line means a new block, in this case a blank line means you want to end the list.

Anyway, if you want more "room" between lines of a same list in the rendered page, you must tweak your css accordingly instead of trying to fix this in markup.

This post is referenced when looking for this problem on Google, so now I am providing a solution.

It seems possible to do that with a blank line containing only an invisible space:
