colon indents with automatic lists

−	===Using the colon indent===	+	===Using the colon indent...===
		+
		+	A colon placed as ''the first character on a new line'' will indent everything until the next line break.
		+
		+	'''Do not use colons in an arbitrary manner!''' Colons are not a page decoration tool. A two-colon-indent element should be contained only in a one-colon-indent element and should contain only three-colon-indent elements. Resist the temptation to use arbitrary numbers of colons to make an article "look good". It will only "look good" on your computer. Other users with other systems/browsers/display sizes will see the page differently and it ''will not look good'' to them.

		+	====to create non-automatic section numbering/lettering.====
		+
		+	...
		+
		+
		+	====with bullet and number lists.====
		+
		+	Normally, automatic lists indent themselves, as in this example:
		+
		+	<nowiki>#A section </nowiki>
		+	<nowiki>#A section with two subsections </nowiki>
		+	<nowiki>##The first subsection </nowiki>
		+	<nowiki>##The second subsection </nowiki>
		+
		+	#A section
		+	#A section with two subsections
		+	##The first subsection
		+	##The second subsection
		+
		+
		+	But using lettered sections with numbered subsections creates a problem. Either we get no subsection indenting:
		+
		+	<nowiki>:A. The first section </nowiki>
		+	<nowiki>:B. The second section has two numbered subsections: </nowiki>
		+	<nowiki>#The first subsection </nowiki>
		+	<nowiki>#The second subsection </nowiki>
		+
		+	:A. The first section
		+	:B. The second section has two numbered subsections:
		+	#The first subsection
		+	#The second subsection
		+
		+	Or we get a superfluous digit:
		+
		+	<nowiki>:A. The first section </nowiki>
		+	<nowiki>:B. The second section has two numbered subsections: </nowiki>
		+	<nowiki>##The first subsection </nowiki>
		+	<nowiki>##The second subsection </nowiki>
		+
		+	:A. The first section
		+	:B. The second section has two numbered subsections:
		+	##The first subsection
		+	##The second subsection


−	~~===Using the colon indent~~ to ~~create non-~~automatic ~~section numbering/lettering===~~	+	The solution is to use colon indents with the automatic lists (either number or bullet):

		+	<nowiki>:A. The first section </nowiki>
		+	<nowiki>:B. The second section has two numbered subsections: </nowiki>
		+	<nowiki>:#The first subsection </nowiki>
		+	<nowiki>:#The second subsection </nowiki>
