I'm playing with snippets right now and am stuck when I try to create a snippet that can be used in a numbered list.
Specfically, I have about twenty-five topics, all of which contain procedures that include three steps common to all the topics.
In some topics the steps are 1,2,3. In others they are 2,3,4 or 3,4,5.
In other words, two examples might be:
and
How do I (or even can I) use a snippet for the common content in these examples?

Create each item as a separate snippet.
Create the list but without numbering, thus
Item One
Snippet One
Snippet Two
Item Four
Select the four paragraphs and it will correctly apply the numbering.

I have struggled with this too. What I have found is that a snippet will force itself onto the line below the number. I worked around it by creating a variable instead of a snippet. A variable will quite happily sit in a list next to the relevant number.
