Is it possible to make a nested ordered list in a table of contents in Jupyter Notebook using markdown?

Question

Is it possible to make a nested ordered list in a table of contents in Jupyter Notebook using markdown? I am converting python into .ipynb using this.

My python code:

# 1. hello
#    1.1 hello
#    1.2 hello
#        1.2.1 hello
# 1. hello
#    1. hello
#       1. hello

Here is my markdown cell:

1. hello<br>
   1.1 hello<br>
   1.2 hello<br>
       1.2.1 hello<br>
1. hello<br>
   1. hello<br>
      1. hello

When run it produces this:

How can I have the same effect of the second list but with numbers?

Apparently Markdown does not support this type of list. Here is a possible workaround (based on this post):

Note that list items must be escaped with \ with the exception of the nested values. This seems to be required in the notebook but not in Stack Overflow.

* 1\. hello
   * 1.1. hello
   * 1.2. hello
       * 1.2.1. hello
* 2\. hello
   * 1\. hello
      * 1.1. hello

Which produces this:

• 1. hello
  • 1.1. hello
  • 1.2. hello
    • 1.2.1. hello
• 2. hello
  • 1. hello
    • 1.1. hello
