For synonym lists, either use templates like {{Species list}} which automatically use small text for authorities, or wrap the authority information as described above.) Derived uses in non-biological contexts are not italicized: The largest carnivore in family Tyrannosauridae was T. rex itself, but Unicorn was an album by the band T. Rex.
I've been playing with numbered lists in tables recently for a different template, and this problem is a lot more difficult than it might seem. automatic numbering of lists only works in a very restricted set of circumstances, and it's very difficult to simulate with templates (because templates have very little self-referencing capability).
Blank lines between items of a numbered list will not only cause the same broken-list problems as in bulleted lists, but will also restart the numbering at "1". This cannot be fixed without complex markup (defeating ease-of-editing expectations), so double-spacing should always be avoided in numbered lists.
There is a special set of templates used for formatting glossary content.

Putting pound (#) signs at the beginning of a line of text will number that line.
This list (which may have dates, numbers, etc.) may be better in a sortable table format. Please help improve this list or discuss it on the talk page . ( December 2024 )
If the first text-word is too long, no text will fit to complete the left-hand side, so beware creating a "ragged left margin" when not enough space remains for text to fit alongside floating-tables. If multiple single image-tables are stacked, they will float to align across the page, depending on page-width.
The list templates explicitly identify lists for readers, ensuring that the structure is understood, rather than relying on visual formatting to imply the presence of a list. See MOS:COLOR and Help:Using colours for information about restrained use of color in tables, to avoid creating accessibility problems for color-blind as well as normal ...
