Generating automated bullets and numbered lists with markdown

Question

I'm looking for a good way to generate lists that are automatically bulleted. I tried the markdown plugin. It generates bullets automatically but not numbered lists. I also tried the vim-pandoc plugin which handles markdown but it doesn't do automated bullets or numbers.

Thanks.
