1 When an enumeration contains entries starting with ordinal numbers, e.g., for lists of meeting dates, ikiwiki turns them all into the 1st.
5 *The following lists should read: 1. January, 27. March, 99. November, 42. April*
6 **But instead it reads:**
13 > That's a consequence of Markdown syntax. The syntax for ordered lists
14 > (HTML `<ol>`) in Markdown is to use arbitrary numeric prefixes in that style,
15 > so your text gets parsed as:
25 > You can avoid that interpretation by escaping the dot with a backslash
26 > (`1\. January`) like so:
31 > or by writing "1st January" and so on. --[[smcv]]
