Markdown looks at your numbers and assumes you're writing a numerical list and converts it into the appropriate HTML. Breaking up the list with bullets means the numerical list keeps getting broken and starts counting at "1" again.


  1. this number is actually four
    1. I've intended this with 4 spaces. It's a 3.
  2. This number is actually 1. Not indented.
    • Hey, what happens if I put a bullet here? Again, 4 spaces
  3. Oh, that. Hey, what happens if I put a blank line?

  4. Ping. There's a blank line above this.

    1. more indenting
      1. even more

On investigation, indent your bullets with 4 spaces first. Otherwise you get this:

  1. 1
  2. this is actually a bullet and not a number.
  3. 3
