Hello,
My organization uses the following format for policies and procedures. Is it possible to use multilevel numbering using the out of the box formatting tools in ServiceNow?

Hi @cynlink1 ,
As the article body is HTML type, we can add bullet/number list but child number option not there using the TAB. It will show either number or alphabet only from the list.
You can update it manualy.

yes, we can add come html/css style for this ordered list number.
Open the source code part via clicking on <> and add the follwoing css code within the <script > </script > tag. Keep the other css code as it is, don't remove and existing ol/li css setting.
<script>
ol { counter-reset: item }
li{ display: block }
li:before { content: counters(item, ".") " "; counter-increment: item }
</script>
-Thanks,

@AshishKM - Thank you for responding with a potential solution. I apologized for my delayed response.
I am having a difficult time getting this to work on my end. I am likely making an error.
Step #1 - Open a new knowledge article
Step #2 - Show source code <>
Step #3 - Paste script into the source code
<script>
ol { counter-reset: item }
li{ display: block }
li:before { content: counters(item, ".") " "; counter-increment: item }
</script>
Step #4 - Hide source code by clicking <> again
Step #5 - Start making the multi-level list
Am I going about it wrong?
Thanks,
Cyn
