Explain the problem as you see it
Currently if I want to have a numbered list I have to set the numeration myself which is a pain to maintain.
Why is this a problem for you?
In some cases I like to keep items ordered with a clear indication of their relative position in the list. It makes it easier to identify the nth item in the list.
Suggest a solution
Add an extra "numbered list" display option and/or automatically convert to a numbered list when you start a node with a number (for instance, 1.).
