I'm trying to create a numbered list where the numbers count down 
instead of up. As I understand this: 
<http://orgmode.org/manual/Plain-lists.html>, the following should work:

--------
* Countdown list

  [@3] Third
  [@2] Second
  [@1] First
--------

But in fact, I just get a paragraph like with all the list elements run 
together.

Am I misunderstanding this?

Thanks,
-pd

Hi,

This will work:

1.  [@3] Third
2.  [@2] Second
3.  [@1] First

Yours,
Christian
