Ordered list in markdown

To create an ordered list in markdown we simply need to start it with a number followed by a full stop and a spacebar like 1.:

1. one
2. two
3. three

What numbers we choose is entirely irrelevant as it will all result in the same numbered list, starting from the first number.

17. one
18. two
19. three
  1. one
  2. two
  3. three
