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.
I don't want a list at all. I want to start a quote with a number.
