1. A computerized method comprising:
- creating a first item of a list having at least two items within electronic content;
creating a second item of the list within the electronic content;
converting, using one or more processors, the second item to a separate paragraph below the first item, the converting causing the separate paragraph to become a part of the first item;
creating another item of the list below the separate paragraph, continuity being maintained between the first item and the another item of the list, the converting of the second item causing the second item to be removed from consideration for continuity; and
storing the electronic content in a machine-readable medium.

Abstract
In various embodiments, a computerized method includes creating a first item of a list having at least two items that form a portion of electronic content. The computerized method can include creating a second item of the list within the electronic content, as well as converting the second item to a separate paragraph below the first item, wherein the separate paragraph is part of the first item. The computerized method may include creating another item of the list below the separate paragraph, wherein a continuity is maintained between the first item and the another item of the list. The computerized method includes storing the electronic content in a machine-readable medium.

8. A computerized method comprising:
-
receiving a command to format text as items in a list in an electronic document; creating, using one or more processors, a first item of the items in the list based on received text, a first ordered item demarcation being present adjacent to the received text for the first item; receiving a command to suppress presentation of an ordered item demarcation; creating a separate paragraph below the first item based on received text, in response to the command to suppress, no ordered item demarcation being presented adjacent to the received text of the separate paragraph; receiving a command to resume presentation of an ordered demarcation; creating a second item of the items in the list based on received text, in response to the command to resume, a second ordered item demarcation being presented adjacent to the text for the second item, order continuity being maintained between the first ordered demarcation and the second ordered demarcation, the continuity being independent of the separate paragraph; receiving a command to convert the separate paragraph to a further item; converting the separate paragraph to the further item, the converting causing a further order demarcation to be presented adjacent to text of the further item, the further order demarcation being between the first order demarcation and the second demarcation in continuity; and storing the electronic document in a machine-readable medium. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

11. A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions, which when executed by a machine cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
-
presenting electronic content to a user in an application; creating, in response to input from the user, a first item and a second item of a list within the electronic content, wherein order continuity is maintained between the first item and the second item; receiving a toggle button input selection from the user, while a cursor of the application is within the second item; converting the second item to a separate paragraph below the first item that is a part of the first item, in response to receiving the toggle button input selection, the converting causing the separate paragraph to become a part of the first item such that order continuity is not maintained between the first item and the second item after the converting; receiving an input from the user to create a new paragraph in the electronic content below the separate paragraph below the first item; creating a new item of the list in response to receiving the input from the user to create the new paragraph, wherein the order continuity is created between the first item and the new item; and storing the electronic content in a machine-readable medium. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions, which when executed by a machine cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
-
creating a first item of a list having at least two items within electronic content; converting, using one or more processors, the second item to a separate paragraph below the first item, the converting causing the separate paragraph to become a part of the first item; creating another item of the list below the separate paragraph, continuity being maintained between the first item and the another item of the list, the converting of the second item causing the second item to be removed from consideration for continuity; and storing the electronic content in a machine-readable medium. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)

21. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; a non-transitory machine-readable medium to store electronic content; and an application module to create a first item of a list within the electronic content, the first item comprising N paragraphs, wherein N is greater than one, to create a second item that is part of the list below a last paragraph of the N paragraphs of the first item, an order continuity being maintained between the first item and the second item of the list, the continuity being independent of the N paragraphs, to receive a command to convert one of the N paragraphs to a further item, and to convert the one of the N paragraphs to the further item, the converting causing the order continuity between the first item and the second item of the list to be broken by insertion of an order demarcation corresponding to the further item. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
