Two things, actually.

One is that it'd be nice to be able to use numbering formats like: 1, 1.2, 1.2.3.

The other is that it'd be really nice to be able to insert those numbers in the HTML headers on output.

   This is possible with CSS3 counters, but not something easily implemented as an option at this point. I'll take a further look into it, but it's not going to be top of my list for a little bit.

   As I noticed this is implemented and can be configured in the preferences pane, but when I export a document to PDF all headers are unnumbered. What secret enchantment I should include to make this work?

   Do you mean the table of contents loses its prefixes, or are you expecting the headers in the document to be numbered?

   The latter. Oh wait, in that case I should include a number/digit, in front of every header? Just like when I need a numbered list?

   Ciao,

   There is no feature in Markdown or Marked for numbering headers. You can manually add numbers, sure, but they won't automatically be kept in sequence the way a numbered list would.

   There is an option to use custom CSS to generate header numbers automatically. It takes a bit of css knowledge, but if you're interested there are examples here in the forums. I can help you search for them if needed.

   So if this is not a feature, what is the meaning / function of the Preferences/Export/Table of Contents/Table of Contents Level Markers settings?

   Ciao,
   Hans.

   It affects the Table of Contents itself when you select "Print table of
   contents" or insert it manually with `<!--TOC-->`.
