Use {@x} to End a Numbered Example List, where x is identifier for this specific list

Use {@x} to End a Numbered Example List, where x is identifier for this specific list

Dear all,

Regarding the [continued numbered example 
lists](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#numbered-example-lists). A problem is 
that we can only define a single list that gets continued along the 
document. Why don't we use `(@x)` where we can simply call the identifier 
of this list, x, whenever we want to continue it's numbering? The list 
identifier may be any character not just a number. Something like:

``` (@1) element 1 of list 1 (@1) element 2 of list 1   --interruption---- 
List 2: (@2) element 1 of list 2  (@2) element 2 of list 2  ---- 
interruption---- List 1 continuous: (@1) element 3 of list 1   (@1) element 
4 of list 1
```
This is a primary suggestion open to all kinds of arguments. And many 
thanks to [@cderv](https://github.com/cderv) who has been a great help 
regarding Pandoc issues facing Rmarkdown users.

This has come up before, and it wouldn't surprise me if there is already an
issue for it, although I can't find one at the moment. (For all that I know
I might even have opened such an issue myself but don't remember it.) I
have a file with a proposal, but I don't remember if I ever posted it. My
idea was to use curly brackets to distinguish counters from citations so
`(@{foo})` would be the counter named `foo` and then optionally a colon and
a number/letter which gives the numbering type and the start number as for
regular lists so `@{foo:10}` = the counter `foo` starting at 10 with
decimal numbers, `@{bar:x}` = the counter `bar` starting at 10 with
lowercase roman numbers, `@{baz:J}` = the counter `baz` starting at 10 with
upper alpha numbers, with the `:N` bit being ignored except at the first
occurrence of the counter, or maybe resetting the counter, as I imagine
that one of the main usea of this feature might be to have a separate count
for each chapter, and then resetting the same counter makes sense.

Thanks for sharing your idea. Maybe we can post our suggestions somewhere 
where core Pandoc developers can see? They don't seem very active here.

Really?  I've posted here 320 times in the last year.

Note that the syntax `(@foo)` is already used for regular example
lists; `foo` identifies the specific list number, not a list
series.

Sorry for the bad wording. I really admire your work and didn't mean to 
underestimate your kind efforts.

I'm aware of the  numbered example list 
<https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#numbered-example-lists>, the thing is if I 
want to use 2 lists, I intuitively give them different identifiers e.g 
'(@foo1)' and '(@foo2)'. However, they are parsed as a single list. I still 
can't make make multiple different lists, it's a single list throughout the 
document.  Please enumerate us, is it possible to have more than a single 
list of this type in a single document? If yes, is the suggested syntax 
applicable?

Re: Use {@x} to End a Numbered Example List, where x is identifier for this specific list

[John MacFarlane]

No, you can't have two separate example lists in a document.
If you use (@foo1) and (@foo2) in example lists, it simply
gives you a way to refer back to these list items later,
e.g. "see item (@foo2)."

LaTeX has a sophisticated mechanism of counters which allow
you to have multiple automatically numbered lists, with
different numbering styles etc.  Pandoc's markdown is much
simpler, and I'm not convinced that we should try to
do everything you can do in more complex formats.

Hence my proposal of curly brackets. However I discovered a later fuller
version where I addressed the issue of named list items, the full syntax
being

    @{[^]<counter_name>[:<item_name>][([<counter init>[!]]["<label>"[!]])]}

where the parts in `[…]` are optional, each of `<counter_name>` and
`<item_name>` is an (ASCII) alphanumeric identifier and `<counter init>` is
a valid decimal, roman or alphabetical (starting) list item number and `!`
indicates that the counter/label should be reinitialized/set even if it has
been initialized/set before (e.g. for a per-chapter counter), and `^`
indicates that the label should have an initial capital (like in Bash
parameter expansion) so that e.g.

`(@{foo:bar(i)})`

~   Initializes the counter `foo` with lowercase Roman numerals starting
from one *unless* it has been initialized before, and sets the identifier
of this item to `bar` and no label. Renders as `(i)`

`(@{foo:bar(i!)})`

~   The same but forces the reinitialization of the counter.

`(@{foo:baz})`

~   Either a list item marker of counter `foo` with list item identifier
`baz` or a reference to the same (possibly becoming a link in formats which
allow that).

`(@{^sentence:quux(1 "mening")})`

~   Initializes the counter `sentence` to 1, with label "mening" (Swedish
for 'Sentence') and item identifier `quux`. Renders as `(Mening 1)`.

`(@{^sentence:fop})`

~   List item or reference of the above counter with item identifier `fop`.
Renders as `(Mening <n>)`, where `<n>` is the sequential number of item
`fop`.

`@{sentence:fop}`

~   Reference to the same item which renders as `mening <n>` without
capitalization of the label.
