Hi

I have a nested ordered list.

<ol>
  <li>first</li>
  <li>second
  <ol>
    <li>second nested first element</li>
    <li>second nested secondelement</li>
    <li>second nested thirdelement</li>
  </ol>
  </li>
  <li>third</li>
  <li>fourth</li>
</ol>

Currently the nested elements start back from 1 again, e.g.

  1. first
  2. second
    1. second nested first element
    2. second nested second element
    3. second nested third element
  3. third
  4. fourth

What I want is for the second elements to be like this:

  1. first
  2. second

    2.1. second nested first element

    2.2. second nested second element

    2.3. second nested third element

  3. third
  4. fourth

Is there a way of doing this?

Thanks
