>in markdown, the actual numbers don’t matter

That's to be expected, you make ordered lists like that in markdown :)

Ha, I didn't know you could just use any number until just now, makes sense, doh! Thanks.

yea, its a good case using just 30. item1 999. item2 2. item3 for numbered lists

but it can possibly "break" in some later versions of markdown, as said by the man himself:

"If you do use lazy list numbering, however, you should still start the list with the number 1. At some point in the future, Markdown may support starting ordered lists at an arbitrary number." -- John Gruber / Daring Fireball (http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#list)
