+Numbered examples
+-----------------
+
+The special list marker `@` can be used for sequentially numbered
+examples. The first list item with a `@` marker will be numbered '1',
+the next '2', and so on, throughout the document. The numbered examples
+need not occur in a single list; each new list using `@` will take up
+where the last stopped. So, for example:
+
+ (@) My first example will be numbered (1).
+ (@) My second example will be numbered (2).
+
+ Explanation of examples.
+
+ (@) My third example will be numbered (3).
+
+Numbered examples can be labeled and referred to later in the
+document:
+
+ (@good) This is a good example.
+
+ As (@good) illustrates, ...
+
+The label can be any string of alphanumeric characters, underscores,
+or hyphens. The example must occur before the reference.
