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]]
