Due to some of the answers/comments left below (with which I agree), I feel this question is too vague, and does not explain sufficiently my problem. I was t
Took a while to figure this one out!
here is my fiddle

font-size: 20px;

counter-increment: ordem;

li.heading {
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 12px;
list-style-type: none;
}
.bullet {
counter-reset: bullet;
padding-left: 12px;
}
.bullet li {
list-style-type: none;

I got it to work like so:
body{
counter-reset: section children;
}
li{
list-style:none;
}
.parent::before {
counter-increment: section;
content: counter(section) " - ";
}
.parent li:first-child{
counter-reset:children;
}
.parent li::before{
counter-increment: children;
content: counter(section) "." counter(children) " - ";
}
<ol>
<li class="parent">Section 1
<ol>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li class="parent">Section 2
<ol>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
I removed the list style, since it isn't necessary.
What this does is create two separate counters for the children and the sections, then resets the children counter on every new section.
