Resuming numbering in a list (before starting at 1. again)

The following is about MultiMarkDown rather than about the composer itself.

If I have a numbered list such as:

1. line 1
   
2. line 2
   
3. line 3
   
4. line 4
   
5. line 5
   
6. line 6

and then add a quote between some of the lines, eg:

1. line 1
   
2. line 2
   
3. line 3

a quote

1. line 4
   
2. line 5
   
3. line 6

in preview or export to another format results in:

1. line 1
   
2. line 2
   
3. line 3

a quote

1. line 4
   
2. line 5
   
3. line 6

I can see it is possible to do so with html code (eg https://stackoverflow.com/questions/779016/is-it-possible-to-specif...), but is not ideal.

Is it technically possible to have some limited way of allowing numbering to continue (such as were a quote is inserted between two numbers)?

   Indent the quote, e.g.:

   1. foo
   2. bar
   
       > quote
   
   3. foo
   4. bar
   

   If you're inserting something between elements of a single list, that "something" needs to be indented. If you are inserting something between two lists, the number should start over and the "something" should not be indented.
