False recognition of numbered lists

bug

I don’t know if this is a bug or a feature, but when people are writing especially dates, it seems that the text is changed into a numbered list even when it is not desired.

Reproduction of the bug:

There are countless topics on this already and they are all marked as #markdown-it-review and will be looked at again when Discourse moves to CommonMark.

But in short, you need to escape the . using \. if you want it to retain your number

Thank you! I’ll let my users know :slight_smile:
