How about using the CSS content property? For example:
.list {
counter-reset: my-counter;
}
.list dt:before {
content: counter(my-counter) ". ";
counter-increment: my-counter;
}
If you'd rather insert the numbers into the HTML, you would need a script
of some kind. Here's a simple one in Perl, which also replaces existing
numbering, if any:
#!perl -p
s/(<dt[^>]*>)(\d+\. )?/$1 . ++$i . ". "/ige;
