Is it possible to make markdown numbered lists without writing the actual numbers?
For example, sometimes I have long numbered lists (10+ entries long). If I insert an item after the second list item, I have to update all item numbers afterwards.
More Detail
Well-known way to make numbered lists:
1. Foo
2. Bar
3. Baz
What I would like is something like the below, and have it rendered just like any other numbered list.
#. Foo
#. Bar
#. Baz
Pre-addressing Obvious Workaround
I know one technically doesn't have to update the numbers, and that it will be auto-rendered with a sequentially-increasing numbered list.
However, this results in the source code being "messy" (see below), and I would prefer not to have any numbers included and still get a numbered list.
1. Foo
9001. Spam
2. Bar
3. Baz
Are you OK with using "1." for each item in your ordered list?
1. Foo
1. Spam
1. Bar
1. Baz
1. Qux
It's the same for every member of you ordered lists, so there is a certain neatness you may desire, and gives you the desired output, while living within the constraints of MarkDown.
