list numbering continue from previous
Is there a way in Pages for iOS to have the numbering of a list "continue from previous", as is possible in Pages for Mac 5.6?

No as such, but there is a workaround. If you type the complete list (or far enough to get past the point where you wish to insert something else), it will allow you to continue it.
for example
1. One item
2. Two items
3. Items
4. Etc
Place the insertion point ("Cursor") at the end of the third line, tape return twice and you will get a space with the numbering continuing and the ability to add additional text or elements and have the numbering continue. Not perfect, but it isn't quite as convoluted as it sounds and it does work.
Thanks for your reply, I suspected as much. The other solution I ended up using was to go back and edit the document on a Mac to change the numbering after I wrote the text in iOS. Both solutions are less than ideal, but do work. Presumably a feature they will bring to an updated version of Pages for iOS.
