Even though there is older documentation that is supposedly more authoritative, the RFCXMLv3 we actually use is described in https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/xml2rfc-doc.html > > > > https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/xml2rfc-doc.html#name-br-2 > > describes the <br element, which can do exactly what you want, and is in the content model for <li. > > So the example becomes: > > > >> <ol> > >> <li> > >> bunch of hooey > >> <br/> > >> more hoo-ah > >> </li> yes, xml2rfc 3.9.1 with --v3. Thanks, that works and also works within a <dl>: <dl> <dt></dt> <dd><br/></dd> </dl> > Or, if you actually want a list item containing two paragraphs: > > <ol> > <li> > <t>bunch of hooey</t> > <t>more hoo-ah</t> > </li> > </ol> That works, but did not work for me originally and after your message I found that I could not mix syntax like below. Maybe using <t> throughout the <dl> would work. <ol> <li> bunch of hooey <t>more hoo-ah</t> </li> </ol> In all cases, the errors that it produced did not lead me to a solution. Thanks
