I create a set of instructions all with a numbering style.
I want to place conditional tags around the group of instructions, but I can only put the IFCOMMAND after the first number. In other words...
I want this:
IF COMMAND>1. Do this
2. Do that
3. Finish<END
But I can only do this:
1. IF COMMAND>Do this
2. Do that
3. Finish<END
I can get around it by putting the IF command on a separate line above, but I really don't want to do that.

Re: Conditional text with numbering styles
That's the only option, because the "number" doesn't really exist in the source code. Since the list is numbered automatically it is generated automatically and displayed before the text. If you look in the XML editor you will see that there are no numbers anywhere.I can get around it by putting the IF command on a separate line above, but I really don't want to do that.
When using conditional text on lists the first tag always needs to be at the END of the previous paragraph. Otherwise you will get an empty list item when the text is excluded.
