I've done this with JavaScript. HTML's ordered lists won't do the
trick,
unfortunately.
The drawback to generating the numbers with JavaScript, though, is that
you don't get the indentation HTML's lists give you, so you have to fake
it.
I used tables for that.
The result looked nice, but the machinery was a bit clunky.
