Meta question: are you maintaining the item numbering manually, then? To me, the big weaknesses in Markdown have been lack of support for (1) internal references
Ah, I wondered about that! I spent the past few days working on documentation in Markdown and really enjoyed working with it, but couldn't find a nice way of doing internal references, which surprised me. I was kinda hoping that doing something along the lines of "see #Semantic Use of XHTML# below" would automagically link to the section headed "Semantic Use of XHTML"...
and (2) autonumbering.
I've a sneaking suspicion that you could do that with CSS: http:// www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html#counters
