When you use the following markup:
* This is a bullet list
* With some items
1. This is a numbered list
2. With some items
3. But it displays as bullets
You get this:
- This is a bullet list
- With some items
- This is a numbered list
- With some items
- But it displays as bullets
Unless you put something else between them
- This is a bullet list
- With some items
Something else
- This is a numbered list
- With some items
- And it displays correctly now
