Nested list numbers

An Obsidian plugin that shows parent numbers on nested numbered lists in Live Preview and Source mode, so 1. under item 2.2 reads as 2.2.1..

The numbers are worked out from the whole note, not from the lines currently on screen, so they stay correct while scrolling.

A three-level numbered list showing 1.2.1. and 2.2.2.1.
