Option	Values	Default
delimiter	".", ")", or "consistent"	"."
numbering	"auto", "ordered", or "same"	"auto"

• delimiter: consistent is the delimiter of the document's first ordered list. As with bullet markers, an ordered list that directly follows another one keeps a different delimiter.
• numbering: ordered counts up from the first number, and same repeats it in every item. auto repeats it when the first two items have the same number, as in 1., 1., 1., and counts up otherwise. These are markdownlint's MD029 one_or_ordered, ordered, and, for lists that start at 1 or 0, one and zero.

Edge cases and advanced usage

Details: the first number never changes, because the rendered list starts at it. When a number gets wider or narrower, as from 9. to 10., the item's other lines move with its text.

Left as written: the numbers of a list

• where changing them would move a line into or out of an item, as for style/list-indent;
• that are written with leading zeros, as in 01., or would need more than nine digits;
• directly below TOML front matter that does not start at 1, or whose first item starts with a blank line, which keeps its delimiter too, as for style/list-indent.

Dialect notes

In Obsidian: digit widths stay where a trailing nested list controls a following quoted list's indentation, as described for style/list-indent. Same-width numbering and delimiter preferences remain available.
