[edit] Outline Numbered List

Is there a way to create a list that is numbered as an outline? The list below is formatted how I'd like it (but not automatically numbered):

1. element 1 level 1
1.1. subelement 1 level 2
1.2. subelement 2 level 2
1.2.1. subsubelement 1 level 3
1.3. subelement 3 level 2
2. element 2 level 1

etc.

I know how to do a general list, but that only gives me:

  1. element 1 level 1
    1. subelement 1 level 2
    2. subelement 2 level 2
      1. subsubelement 1 level 3
    3. subelement 3 level 2
  2. element 2 level 1

I know that the table of contents does this automatically, and if the user has the automatic numbering preference enabled, the numbers will appear if each entry is defined as a section heading, but I couldn't find a way to force the numbering to show up either.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

[edit] alphabetically
