Numbered list item picks up from preceding nested list item

You can include the number or letter followed by a colon, you simply
type the desired text into the EDD as content of the "Autonumber Format"
element.
However, I believe that you really want instead of designating these
items as different numbering series (which is what the A: or N: do) you
should include an EmptyCounter building block (will display as < > )
before your existing counter. One empty counter should be used for each
level of nesting, so a second-level list (first nested list) has one, a
third level list has two, etc.
For example:
If level is 1:
...
If context is: {first}
Numbering properties
Autonumber format: <n=1>.\t
Else
Numbering properties
Autonumber format: <n+>.\t
Else, if level is: 2
If context is: ul
Numbering properties
Autonumber format: \b\t
Else
If context is: {first}
Numbering properties
Autonumber format: < ><a=1>.\t
Else
Numbering properties
Autonumber format: < ><a+>.\t
