I want to create a hierarchy of list items which are numbere= d, with proper "decimalization" for the subtree(s):
1. thing-1
1.1. thing-1-1
1.2. thing-1= -2
1.2.1. thing-1-2-1
. . .=C2=A0

It seems from the documentation that this behavior is only manual inserti= on. Otherwise, I start with

1. Header
then do M-ret and M-right. But that only indents and starts anot= her 1. line.

1. Header
=C2=A0 =C2= =A01. sub header

Subsequent M-ret's only= produces either increments, or a M-ret M-right creates a sub-sub starting = again at 1:

1. Header
=C2=A0 =C2=A01. sub header
=C2=A0 =C2=A02. sub header
=C2=A0 =C2=A03. sub header
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 1. sub sub header
