It occurred to me that another way to get this effect might be with numbered lists:

#+BEGIN_SRC org
 * Chapter 1 Blah
   1. blah
   2. blah blah
   3. blah blah blah
 * Chapter 2 Blah Blah
   1. blah
   2. blah blah
#+END_SRC

and so on. Is there any way to get numbered lists to use a "." notation, where the path to each list item is indicated by
.-separated numbers?

 1
 1.1
 1.2
 1.2.1
 ...


Thanks, and Happy New Year!
