You can try this with some css here content: will add item to your listing number, you can also change ) with other symbols 

<html>
<head>
<title>Title Here</title>
</head>

<body>
<style type="text/css">
ol {
counter-reset: item;
margin-left: 0;
padding-left: 0;
}
li {
display: block;
margin-bottom: .5em;
margin-left: 2em;
}
li:before {
display: inline-block;
content: counter(item) ") ";
counter-increment: item;
width: 2em;
margin-left: -2em;
}
</style>
<ol>

We can get it by doing as follows

<ol>
  <li>First</li>
  <li>Second</li>
  <li>Third</li>
</ol>

and then adding style

ol {
  counter-reset: list;
}
ol li {
  list-style: none;
}
ol li:before {
  content: counter(list, decimal) ") ";
  counter-increment: list;
}
