That should happen automatically (at least in SO flavored MD):

1. test 1
1. test 2

The code I used it:

    1. test 1
    1. test 2

The same works for GitHub flavored MD: https://gist.github.com/3489721

You can test it here:  https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3122/formatting-sandbox

if you type the first one with a one like this `1. lorem` then as long as
the rest have a space after the dot then it should work
```
1. lorem
4. hello
3. blah blah blah
```
you should get this:
1. lorem
4. hello
3. blah blah blah


If you need add any comment/description/whatever under an item in the list. Only this option solved my case.

    &lt;ol&gt;
        &lt;li&gt;option 1&lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;li&gt;option 2&lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;li&gt;option 3&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ol&gt;

How do I unzip a gzipped body in a request&#39;s module response?

I have tried several examples around the web but none of them appear to work.

    request(url, function(err, response, body) {
        if(err) {
            handleError(err)
        } else {
            if(response.headers[&#39;content-encoding&#39;] == &#39;gzip&#39;) {    
                // How can I unzip the gzipped string body variable?
                // For instance, this url:
                // http://highsnobiety.com/2012/08/25/norse-projects-fall-2012-lookbook/
                // Throws error:
                // { [Error: incorrect header check] errno: -3, code: &#39;Z_DATA_ERROR&#39; }
                // Yet, browser displays page fine and debugger shows its gzipped
                // And unzipped by browser fine...
                if(response.headers[&#39;content-encoding&#39;] &amp;&amp; response.headers[&#39;content-encoding&#39;].toLowerCase().indexOf(&#39;gzip&#39;) &gt; -1) {	
                    var body = response.body;                    
                    zlib.gunzip(response.body, function(error, data) {
                        if(!error) {
                            response.body = data.toString();
                        } else {
                            console.log(&#39;Error unzipping:&#39;);
                            console.log(error);
                            response.body = body;
                        }
                    });
                }
            }
        }
    }

I learned that when you modify a variable in Java it doesn&#39;t change the variable it was based on

    int a = new Integer(5);
    int b = a;
    b = b + b;
    System.out.println(a); // 5 as expected
    System.out.println(b); // 10 as expected

I assumed a similar thing for objects. Consider this class.

    public class SomeObject {
        public String text;
	
        public SomeObject(String text) {
            this.setText(text);
        }
	
        public String getText() {
            return text;
        }	

        public void setText(String text) {
            this.text = text;
        }
    }

After I tried this code I got confused.

    SomeObject s1 = new SomeObject(&quot;first&quot;);
    SomeObject s2 = s1;
    s2.setText(&quot;second&quot;);
    System.out.println(s1.getText()); // second as UNexpected
    System.out.println(s2.getText()); // second as expected

Please explain to me why changing any of the objects affects the other one. I understand that the value of variable text is stored in the same place in memory for both of the objects. 

Why the values for variables are independent but correlated for objects?

Also, how to duplicate SomeObject, if simple assignment does not do the job?

Is there a way to create an automatically numbered list in Markdown format? Currently, I have to manually enter in what number I want to appear, but if I insert items in the list, it is cumbersome to have to re-number all the following items.

I want to start a line with a number in Markdown without it creating a list.

    1. so my next line

    will be parallel to the first

        1. not indented  

    like this

In Markdown, how do I start a line with a number without creating a list?

In looking for a straightforward WYSIWYG editor for Markdown code, I am not finding a comparible UI to that of CkEditor, TinyMCE, ect.   

Specifically, the Markdown &quot;WYSIWYG&quot; editors that are often recommended (such as posts like [this][1] ) are not pure WYSIWYG editors in the sense that users either still write raw Markdown ( [MarkItUp][2] ) or go to the other extreme of having in-line editing without standard controls ( [Hallo][3] ).  

I need something in-between.

I&#39;m looking for a Markdown editor that looks and functions like a stripped down CkEditor text box, and that accepts and outputs Markdown.   There should be a toolbar with a minimum set of formatting options (B, I, U, lists, ect), and the text entry area should show the converted Markdown, not the raw code.  There should be a Source button that will allow users to edit the raw Markdown, but even that is optional.   Ex:

![enter image description here][4]

I get the reason for Markdown/wiki, ect - the security it offers.  I don&#39;t mind entering raw code like here at SE, but my users are not geeks and do not find this enjoyable.  They don&#39;t want to see * *  * ___ and spaces mixed in with their text.   They are used to &quot;Word&quot; style editing, and are most productive in that environment. 

So - is there a truly integrated WYSIWYG editor for Markdown?   I&#39;m writing in a PHP, so something that I can invoke with a class would be perfect.

**Sept 23, 2015 Update**

CKEditor now has a **Markdown** [addon][5] that does this exact thing.  The addon project is [hosted on github][6].

**Apr 13, 2015 Update**  
Someone professing to develop CKEditor says that the appearance of [CommonMark](http://commonmark.org/) is a game changer, and we could possibly see a proper [markup interface for CKEditor](https://stackoverflow.com/a/22271265/721073) (read comments for the full story).

**Feb 6, 2015 Update**

CKEditor now comes with a plugin that outputs (and accepts as input) BBCode.

Integrated Markdown WYSIWYG text editor

I need to place two blockquotes in sequence, however markdown combines them into a single blockquote. The only way I can get them to separate is placing some junk text between them. As this textfield allows me to use Markdown I can demonstrate:

    &gt; First Quote
    
    &gt; Second Quote

Results in:

&gt; First Quote
&gt;
&gt; Second Quote

While using junk text:

    &gt; First Quote
    
    .   
    &gt; Second Quote

Results in:

&gt; First Quote

.
&gt; Second Quote

**I cannot use HTML tags or HTML entities. Only Markdown.**

I want to display some images in a Markdown file on Github. I found it works this way:

    ![Figure 1-1](https://raw.github.com/username/repo/master/images/figure 1-1.png &quot;Figure 1-1&quot;)

But i need to collaborate with others so i don&#39;t want the username and repo name hard coded .

I tried to use this:

    ![Figure 1-1](images/figure 1-1.png &quot;Figure 1-1&quot;)

It works on my local disk but not work on Github.

Is there anyone knows about this issue?

I have been using Knitr via R-Studio, and think it is pretty neat. I have a minor issue though. When I source a file in an R-Chunk, the knitr output includes external comments as follows: 


    + FALSE Loading required package: ggplot2
    + FALSE Loading required package: gridExtra
    + FALSE Loading required package: grid
    + FALSE Loading required package: VGAM
    + FALSE Loading required package: splines
    + FALSE Loading required package: stats4
    + FALSE Attaching package: &#39;VGAM&#39;
    + FALSE The following object(s) are masked from &#39;package:stats4&#39;:

I have tried to set R-chunk options in various ways but still didn&#39;t seem to avoid the problem: 

    ```{r echo=FALSE, cache=FALSE, results=FALSE, warning=FALSE, comment=FALSE, warning=FALSE} 
    source(&quot;C:/Rscripts/source.R&quot;);
    
    ```

Is there any way to comment out these messages?
