+0.25
A bit too long.
I'm in favor of this solution since it follows the usual pattern for lists :
*
**
1.
1.1.
We could also have a simple dotless 1, like:
1 list item
1* subitem
1* subitem
1*1 numbered subitem
1*1 numbered subitem
Of course this means that any non-list 1 at the start of the row should
be escaped. Also, it is confusing with the old header syntax.
If the dot's placement is not clear enough, we could use ), like:
1) item
1*) subitemitem
111) etc
thus making it easier for users to remember : indent
one level = duplicate
the symbol .

Another solution would be to use another symbol
but we cannot use #
and the second most common solution is "1."
See http://www.wikimatrix.org/syntax.php?i=33
I'm hesitating but I propose to use Solution 2 which seems the most
consistent to me.
WDYT?
Thanks
