How to indent list items in Vim
Problem
How do I indent a list item in Vim the following way? Ideally I want
this to happen automatically upon wrap, but will settle for something
like ESC TAB doing the trick.
Have
This is a list:
1. This is a list item.
2. This is a long list item that I am wrapping at 72 characters which
contains nonsense to hit that limit.
3. This is a list item that emphasizes the effect.

I have the following in my .vimrc:
set tw=72
set autoindent
set smartindent
set autoindent will correctly indent subsequent lines if I manually
indent the first wrapped line. I have not observed a difference with
set smartindent.
Notes
I am using Vim and spacemacs, but only need an answer for Vim.
In spacemacs I can TAB the first line to the right place in
text-mode; in markdown-mode, the line is wrapped (auto-filled)
correctly without action.
