Re^3: Check numbering of list items

[Corion]

So, how would you tackle this issue without a computer?

Write that down, and then translate that into a computer program.

In the end, it will always come out to checking whether a list of terms is sequential.

You could split your approach in two parts:

1. Extract a list of terms from a document
2. Check whether a list of terms is sequential

... and implement each of these, and in the end put them together.
