<p>What do you mean by a "soft return" in the context of Markdown/MultiMarkdown? If you mean moving the text to a new line without triggering a new paragraph, then all returns are soft returns. To put in a line break, you can use <code><space><space><return></code> for Markdown/MMD, or <code>\<return></code> in MMD.</p>
<p>As for your list example:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Composer won't resume numbering in a situation like that. But once you type <code>3.</code>, it will resume with subsequent lines. Alternatively, you could "shift down" the 3rd list item and then insert other text above it.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>You can't put something in between two halves of a list. Your example would be two lists, <strong><em>unless</em></strong> your Note was indented, and therefore a subsequent paragraph of list item #2. I <em>think</em> that is how you intended it, but this confuses a lot of Markdown users.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Again -- my apologies for losing this in my inbox.</p>
