# then do this
# end finally, do this
If you want to add special formatted content, like <nowiki><syntaxhighlight></nowiki> tabs within the numbered items, use the following workaround to preserve continuous numbering:
<pre>
# Item 1
# Item 2 <!--
--><syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<Node1>Value1</Node1>
</syntaxhighlight>
</pre>
Using a HTML comment <!-- --> for the linebreak prevents that the numbered list is broken and numbering starts over.
