Is there such as thing as numbered labeled lists?

I am writing an FAQ and found that some of the answers are a little on
the long side and would best be split into 2-3 paragraphs.

The presentation I had in mind looks somewhat like this:

|
| 1. Question one
| 
|    abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh
|    abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh
| 
|    abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh
|    abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh
|    abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh
| 
| 2. Question two
| 
|    abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh
|    abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh
|
| 3. Question three
| 
|    abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh
| 
|    abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh
|    abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh abcdefgh
|
| etc.

I thought I'd use the labeled list form (::), but I haven't been able to

Yep, you can't win em all.

Maybe I'm just a bit sensitive, but we had a *very* irate series of ML
posts from a user complaining that a two month old reply to a
different user quoted an irrelevant FAQ enty.  This was because new
FAQs had been added in the meantime.  Now new FAQs are posted to the
end of the list, but they are less visible.

Ouch.. :-(

Rather than refer to the manual, I rely on a collection of templates for
lists, blocks, tables, that I put together when I started with
asciidoc.. and it appears I missed this. 

Thanks,

CJ

Then I wouldn't use numbers as references.  Make sure each FAQ has a
unique and not-too-long "title", and use that title when referring to
the FAQ.

Deck.js backend for AsciiDoc, an alternative to slidy

Hi all,

I write a deck.js backend for ascdoc to cut down my work when writing
deck.js slides. Currently it supports all the standard features, but
not third-party extensions.

project page:
http://houqp.github.com/asciidoc-deckjs/

a demo slide written with asciidoc:
http://houqp.github.com/asciidoc-deckjs/tutorial-slide.html

Hope you enjoy this. :-)

Best Regards,
Dave Hou

Re: Deck.js backend for AsciiDoc, an alternative to slidy

Yes, Deck.js itself comes with many beautiful themes. :-)

Also many people wrote interesting extensions for it, which you can
find out at this page:
https://github.com/imakewebthings/deck.js/wiki

I haven't had enough time to add these extensions into the backend yet.

Re: Deck.js backend for AsciiDoc, an alternative to slidy

Hi Qingping

That's really nice.

I've added it the list of 'Documents written using AsciiDoc' 
(http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/#X2). If you get time to package it up into a 
downloadable plugin that would be great and I'll add it to the backend plugins 
list (http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/plugins.html).

Cheers, Stuart
