When an enumeration contains entries starting with ordinal numbers, e.g., for lists of meeting dates, ikiwiki turns them all into the 1st.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Testcase:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*The following lists should read: 1. January, 27. March, 99. November, 42. April*
|
|
|
|
|
**But instead it reads:**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 1. January
|
|
|
|
|
* 27. March
|
|
|
|
|
* 99. November
|
|
|
|
|
* 42. April

> That's a consequence of Markdown syntax. The syntax for ordered lists
|
|
|
|
|
> (HTML `<ol>`) in Markdown is to use arbitrary numeric prefixes in that style,
|
|
|
|
|
> so your text gets parsed as:
|
|
|
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
|
> <ul>
|
|
|
|
|
> <li>
|
|
|
|
|
> <ol>
|
|
|
|
|
> <li>January</li>
|
|
|
|
|
> </ol>
|
|
|
|
|
> </li>
|
|
|
|
|
> ...
|
|
|
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
|
> You can avoid that interpretation by escaping the dot with a backslash
|
|
|
|
|
> (`1\. January`) like so:
|
|
|
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
|
> * 1\. January
|
|
|
|
|
> * 27\. March
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
> or by writing "1st January" and so on. --[[smcv]]
