I'm not clear with your question... where exactly you want to put these nested bullets.. ??

For example

If the text/sentence is in following format

qqqqqqqq
qqqqqqqqq
qqqqqq

Now if I select this text through mouse and click on a button the numbering should in nested format. like.....

1 qqqqqqqqq
1.1 qqqqqqqqqq
1.1.1 qqqqqqqqqqqqq

thanks.......

Generally speaking, I think you'd have to assign the numbering first, and then the additional level of indentation - and hope that VFE editor is smart enough to know to use secondary numbers for the indented text.
Personally I think you'd be better served by capturing the information in a more structured manner rather than using VFE - like having a replicating field defined something like:

...
<container name="content" location="content" min="1" max="10">
  <item name="level" path="level">
    <select>
      <option name="Level-1"/>
      <option name="Level-2"/>
      <option name="Level-3"/>
    </select>
  </item>
  <item name="heading" path="heading">
    <text/>
  </item>
  <item name="paragraph" path="paragraph" min="0" max="5">
    <textarea rows="5" cols="80" wrap="virtual"/>
  </item>
</container>

And then use your PT code to assign the proper numbering and indentation based on the level selected.
