I can’t figure out how to use the editor to properly end the <ol> tags

XMLmind XML Editor does not leverage tags. It's a tree editor (disguised
as a word processor) which works on tree nodes.
Once created using the tree or styled view, an <ol> is a branch of the
document tree already containing at least one <li> leaf.
This topic for example:
In order to insert the paragraph ‘This is the second paragraph’ I had to
use the XML source view to end the embedded lists. It seems like the
‘insert after’ would insert the new paragraph as part of the inner <ul>
which is not what I intended.
"Insert after" means insert *after* *currently* *selected* *XML* *node*.
Therefore if you want to insert a <p> after an <ul>, you must first make
this <ul> the currently selected XML node.
This is really the basics.
I think it may be possible to do this in the editor by inserting an
extra <li> element in the list so that you can go back and use ‘insert
after’ the line item in the outer list to start an embedded list that is
already bounded the next line item of the outer list. Otherwise it seems
like there is no way to end the lists and start a new paragraph outside
the bounds of the outer list.
Please advise if there is a tidier way to accomplish this action.
There are many ways to create nested lists including these toolbar tools
(http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dita/help.html#topic_toolbar)
- Decrease nesting level
- Increase nesting level
- Change list type
found in all word processors. So I won't answer this kind of question.
--> XMLmind XML Editor is not intuitive to use, so please take the time
to learn how to use it. Please start but *very* *carefully* reading our
tutorial (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/tutorial.html) and most notably:
Basic editing,
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_tutorial/basic_edit/index.html
However my guess is that XMLmind XML Editor is NOT the tool you need.
So I would strongly recommend to stop loosing your time with it.
