Hi,
recently I tried to mix mix bullet and numbered lists, like

# header 1
* item 11
* item 12
* item 13
# header 2
* item 21
* item 22
* item 23
#header 3
* item 31
* item 32
* item 33
...

unfortunately, in this the numbering gets cluttered. Any ideas?
Cheers Michael

Since it seems that you want the bullet items to be subordinate to the
numbered items, you probably want to use two ** instead of just one *
for the bullet items:

# header 1
** item 11
** item 12
** item 13
# header 2
** item 21
** item 22
** item 23
#header 3
** item 31
** item 32
** item 33

This will result in the 'header' items being numbered consecutively,
rather than restarting with "1" for each header.

enjoy,
