Don't know why I didn't think of this. It's weird that all the numbers in your changes are 1 though but maybe that's how Markdown works.

In Markdown, the exact value is actually ignored and it is sequential from whatever the first number is. So if you do:
5. Foo
7. Bar
11. Baz
then it renders as
A common practice is to make them all ones so that it starts at number one and then the rest don't matter. This is convenient if you change instructions later; if you had
1. Foo
2. Bar
3. Baz
4. Blarg
And you decided to eliminate step 2, then you don't have
1. Foo
3. Baz
4. Blarg
that renders as
Instead you would have
1. Foo
1. Baz
1. Blarg
And it renders as
Okay.
Instead of an unordered list (bullet points), the instructions are now an ordered list (1, 2, 3) since they are sequential instructions that need to be followed.
