In laws and similar legal texts the paragraphs are often numbered. The
exact numbering is extremely important, including the format. What is
the best way to represent this in HTML?

The two options that come to mind is to either use the <ul> element or
use a <p> element and include the number in the text content. Which
option would you recommend?
