How do I create nested numbered lists?

Hello, 

I am trying to create nested numbered lists, but Confluence refuses to cooperate. 

This is what I am trying to accomplish... a very basic function:
1. list 
2. list
3. list
     1. nested numbered list 
     2. nested numbered list
4. parent list continues...

But Confluence insists on doing the following:
3. list
    a. nested list with undesired letters, which breaks our documentation standard! Grrrr
    b. why can't I change to numbers?

I'm using Confluence Cloud so I think that further diminishes my options. 

UPDATE

I answered my own question. 
I was writing this while experimenting and discovered the I can employ the Fancy Bullets macro with "decimal" option.

I can't control the indentation amount but I this is Confluence Cloud... be happy with the small wins. LOL

I am curious. Is "nest numbered lists" the best search keywords? Because searching the forum, results in two pages and none of them provide the answer.

So, the forum wasn't helpful in this situation. :(

Thanks for responding. :)
