Multilevel nested ordered lists numbering

Is it somehow possible to make ordered lists look similar to this example:

----
1. Level 1
2. Level 1
2.1 Level 2
2.2 Level 2
3. Level 1
3.1 Level 2
3.1.1 Level 3
3.1.2 Level 3
...
----

I am particularly interesting in PDF output.

There's no built-in behavior to do that. You could, however, override the converter to provide your own formatting.

See https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-pdf/blob/master/docs/theming-guide.adoc#extending-the-converter

Re: Multilevel nested ordered lists numbering

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to extend converter, then.
Is there similar way to achieve such behavior for HTML output?

You can extend any converter. The mechanism is basically the same. The difference is that in the HTML converter, you return HTML.

See https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/blob/master/lib/asciidoctor/converter.rb#L36-L42

For the HTML output you also have the choice of adding custom CSS.

I've answered a similar question on StackOverflow. Maybe this is close to what you are looking for: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49189563/sublist-numbering-in-asciidoc/57244921#57244921

You can add CSS as either pass through content, or as a custom stylesheet that replaces the standard asciidoctor CSS stylesheet. See https://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#applying-a-theme for more information.
