How to add ellipsis in enumeration in markdown?

Question

I would like to render a list in markdown with numbers 1, 2, 3, ..., 10

My first attempt

1. one
2. two
3. three  
...
10. ten

produces

1. one
2. two
3. three
   ...
4. ten

the number that should be 10 is not 10, it is 4.

My other attempt

 1. one
 2. two
 3. three

...

10. ten

1. one
2. two
3. three

...

10. ten

has the ellipsis in an ugly position that aligns less well with the list than in my first attempt.

Is there a way to skip items with ellipsis in a numbered list in this site's markdown?

Answer 1

A hack, presumably, but I found that in a HTML style ordered list <ol>...</ol>, just typing without making a list item <li> gives the same indent, but with no number or bullet. Hence

 1. one
 2. two
 3. three  
<ol>
...
</ol>

 10. ten 

gives

1. one
2. two
3. three

...

10. ten

Answer 2

a \cdots b looks like $a \cdots b$.
