Creating an ORdered List (NOT useing HTML)

I'm currently run into a snag on one of my projects. We need to create an ordered list (Mutli levels).

Ie:

Code:

1.  Some Title
   A    Something here
   B    Something Else
2.  Another Title
   A    I'm here Again
      a    And again.
         1    One more indent
3   and another

(I don't know if what I typed up there will appear that way... it should)
without the dots.

I have 2 DataTables. One has all the Titles, and indent. THen I have all the items that go under those titles the other DataTable.

There are no Child-Parent relations, instead I've used an "Indent" column (int) that tells me how many times to indent that title, then all items under that Title will be moved over X amout of pixels.

THe other night I was thinking about using a Recursive loop for this, but don't know where to start. I'm doing this in C#, and it is being rendered to PDF so I have some control over how to put the lists.

I can't use HTML.

ANy help would be awesome!

xml?

xml Code:

Original - xml Code

 
<elementSet type="numbered">
  <element name="Some Title">
    <elementSet type="alpha">
     <element name="Something here" />
     <element name="Something Else" />
    </elementSet>
  </element>
  <element name="Another Title">
  <elementSet type="alpha">
    <element name="I'm here Again">
       <elementSet type="alpha">
         <element name="And again." />
         <elementSet type="alpha">
           <element name="One more indent" />
         </elementSet>
       </element>
      </elementSet>
  </element>
  <element name="and another" />
</elementSet>

so parse this with C# (which I can't help you with) and every time you encounter an elementSet node indent the display and start counting numbers/letters and list the elements/elementSets within it recursively.
