Yes, Avi, you're so right. And these layouts are not the least bit portable either! My latest idea is to use the gallery tag and number the caption on each screenshot. I don't get auto-numbering, but the layout is nicer. That page is way too big right now anyway. :) Hee hee. Yes, Avi, you’re so right. And these layouts are not the least bit portable either!

It lets you harness the power of the automatic clickable TOC. Good thinking! Might come in handy for other ideas too. Ah, now that’s another idea I hadn’t thought of.

Then you'll conveniently get a clickable TOC with autonumbering that doesn't screw up. If you really want a numbered list doing # Item 1 [[image:blah.jpg|thumb]] # Item 2 .. may work, as a bit of a hack. I think instead of using a # numbered list, you should use ==sections==.
