Numbered Lists

https://documentation.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/Documentation/en/WG7.3/WG73-WriterGuide.pdf#page=269

In technical manuals, multiple levels used to be common in headings (for

instance, I.A.2
or 1.1.1). This style has largely fallen out of practice except in a few
specialized cases
such as legal documents, for the obvious reason that they are hard to
remember.

Numbered lists are used to reference specific items. This is important for
both legal AND technical documents.

   1. Can someone give a reference to a LibreOffice Guide section, around
   the middle a few levels down, to demonstrate how well lists work without
   numbering?
   2. What does remembering list numbers have to do with which list styles
   to use?

The person who wrote this (some years ago) was talking about headings, not
lists. They meant the reader would get lost in the heading numbering
system. The passage needs to be rewritten.
