Well, that one with ul worked, thanks for that. And I finally got it
right with the counters. I used the following:

ol {counter-reset: item}
ol li { display:block }
ol li:before {content: counters(item,".") " ";
counter-increment: item;
}
ul li:before { content: normal;
counter-increment: none;
}

This works fine with my list. It has multiple nested ordered lists, but
there are a few unordered list, which should be displayed with text and
markup (hyperlinks, e.g.) only.
Thanks again and
cu,
