The outlines package restarts the numbering of the item following a \0 entry, which is a paragraph type entry. The documentation for the outlines package provides preamble code to avoid the restart. I also use `\usepackage[inline]{enumitem}\setlist{nosep}` to reduce vertical spacing between outline items. The preamble code to avoid restarting the outline counter does not typeset with the reduced spacing of the item level following the \0 command. Lower item levels typeset with the correct spacing. My example demonstrates this. I would like to remove the extra spacing.
I just noticed that the code below also labels the first and second levels with integers, which is not good. Perhaps a better solution to my specific problem is to avoid the extra preamble code and remove the command `\renewcommand{\outlinei}{cenumerate}`, and reset the counter for the item following a \0 command manually. I have not been able to do this.

```
\usepackage{outlines}
\usepackage[inline]{enumitem}
  \setlist{nosep}
% The following code comes from the outlines package manual
  \newcounter{cenum}
  \newcounter{cenumsaved}
  \setcounter{cenumsaved}{0}
  \newcommand{\labelcenum}{\arabic{cenum}.}
  \newenvironment{cenumerate}%
    {\begin{list}{\labelcenum}{\usecounter{cenum}}%
    \setcounter{cenum}{\value{cenumsaved}}}%
      {\setcounter{cenumsaved}{\value{cenum}}%
    \end{list}}
\begin{document}
\renewcommand{\outlinei}{cenumerate} % Comment this command to see the change in spacing
\begin{outline}[enumerate]
  \1 First item - notice the extra spacing after this item
    \2 First subitem
    \2 Second subitem
  \0 Some text
  \1 Second item - notice the extra spacing before and after this item
    \2 First subitem
    \2 Second subitem
  \1 Third item - notice the extra spacing before and after this item
    \2 First subitem
    \2 Second subitem
\end{outline}
\end{document}
