Indented numbered lists don't wrap properly. For example,

1. This is a numbered list item. In the text box, it was 4 spaces, followed by "1.", followed by the rest of the text. If this line is longer than your browser window is wide, it won't wrap properly.

Indentation implies preformatted text. The 1. should be at the start of the line.

  1. This is a numbered list item. In the text box, it wasn't 4 spaces, followed by "1.", followed by the rest of the text. If this line is longer than your browser window is wide, it will wrap.

If you want to nest lists, then you need to indent the second list item.

  1. First level
    1. This is a numbered list item. In the text box, it was 3 spaces, followed by "1.", followed by the rest of the text. If this line is longer than your browser window is wide, it will wrap.
