The only problem I came across was I wanted sections like the following:

Section 1:
----------

1.1 Why does life suck?
1.2 Why do I suck?
1.3 Why do you suck?

Section 2:
----------

2.1 Why are cats cool?
2.2 Why are dogs cool?
2.3 Why is my pet cool?

I couldn't do that with HTML... yet. I was hoping that eventually
I'd be able to... but as Andrew wrote above, if you use the <ol> -
ordered list directive, you can have HTML automagically renumber yur
stuff...
