Begin ordered list from 0 in Markdown

Question

I\'m new to Markdown. I was writing something like:

#Table of Contents  
0. Item 0  
1. Item 1  
2. Item 2

But that generates:

Answer 1

Simply: NO

Longer: YES, BUT

When you create ordered list in Markdown it is parsed to HTML ordered list, i.e.:

# Table of Contents

0. Item 0  
1. Item 1  
2. Item 2

Will create:

Table of Contents

  
Item 0
  
Item 1
  
Item 2

So as you can see, there is no data about starting number. If you want to start at certain number, unfortunately, you have to use pure HTML and write:

  
Item 0
  
Item 1
  
Item 2
