Create an automatically numbered list in Markdown format

What is the best way to create a numbered list in Markdown format? I currently have to manually enter the number I want to appear, but if I add items, I have to renumber them all.

Solution

  • That should happen automatically (at least in SO flavored MD):

    1. test 1
    2. test 2

    The code I used it:

    1. test 1
1. test 2

    The same works for GitHub flavored MD: https://gist.github.com/3489721
