Can an ordered list produce results that looks like 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 (instead of just 1, 2, 3, ...) with CSS? So far, using list-style-type:decimal

Note: Use CSS counters
to create nested numbering in a modern browser. See the accepted answer. The following is for historical interest only.

counter-reset: foo;
}
.foo li {
list-style-type: none;
}
.foo li::before {
counter-increment: foo;
content: "1." counter(foo) " ";
}
<ol class="foo">
<li>uno</li>
<li>dos</li>
<li>tres</li>
<li>cuatro</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>lorem</li>
<li>lorem ipsum</li>
</ol>
<div>
<ol>
<li>lorem (should be 1.)</li>
<li>lorem ipsum ( should be 2.)</li>
</ol>
</div>

EDIT: I solved the problem by this http://jsfiddle.net/hy5f6161/
this is proper code if you want to first child li resize of other css.
<style>
li.title {
font-size: 20px;
counter-increment: ordem;
color:#0080B0;
}
.my_ol_class {
counter-reset: my_ol_class;
padding-left: 30px !important;
}
.my_ol_class li {
display: block;
position: relative;
}
.my_ol_class li:before {
counter-increment: my_ol_class;
content: counter(ordem) "." counter(my_ol_class) " ";
position: absolute;
margin-right: 100%;
right: 10px; /* space between number and text */
}
li.title ol li{
font-size: 15px;
color:#5E5E5E;
}
</style>
in html file.
<ol>
<li class="title"> <p class="page-header list_title">Acceptance of Terms. </p>
<ol class="my_ol_class">
<li>
<p>
my text 1.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
my text 2.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
In the near future you may be able to use the ::marker psuedo-element to achieve the same result as other solutions in just one line of code.
Remember to check the Browser Compatibility Table as this is still an experimental technology. At the moment of writing only Firefox and Firefox for Android, starting from version 68, support this.
Here is a snippet that will render correctly if tried in a compatible browser:
::marker { content: counters(list-item,'.') ':' }
li { padding-left: 0.5em }
<ol>
<li>li element
<ol>
<li>sub li element</li>
<li>sub li element</li>
<li>sub li element</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>li element</li>
<li>li element
<ol>
<li>sub li element</li>
<li>sub li element</li>
<li>sub li element</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
