  3. This is NOT #3.

And what's with the <P> tag inserted around the text in #3? It makes it display strangely. <LI> is already a block element. Why are we nesting block elements for text?

That's Markdown. You have to escape the character.

Thanks. Seems like a bug in markdown, even if they think it's a "feature."

If the parser is going to keep track of the list numbering, what is the point of a syntax that requires a number? It's kind of stupid. The markdown syntax to trigger ordered lists should be something that isn't commonly typed in everyday conversation.

This link will explain why the markdown behaves the way it does.

I know that it does. What I'm saying is that it's wrong for markdown to do it that way. It's a bug, just not a bug poal can do anything about.

It's interesting that even Reddit has had this "feature" for ages. Bug compatibility. Looks like it's probably due to HTML. It seems you can set the starting value, but it increments for each element. To really support lists with arbitrary numbers, it would have to output a new list for each element.
