honestly? I think that's markdown working as advertised, I should have remembered and either put the number in the comment subject field, or shifted to casual HTML

markdown is what I want about 95% of the time but it does catch me out when it isn't

Ah, gotcha. Any number with a . after it triggers the "This is an ordered list" formatting.

(I use Casual HTML as my default. I should probably learn enough markdown to use that instead.)
