- 
  1. testing

- 
  1. second-line test

Markup used

```md
* 1932. test smth
* 1933. again now then 

```

Yeah, I can see the issue but this doesn’t seem to be valid Markdown markup. I tested the above with another Markdown editor and I see a similar issue:

You can avoid this by omitting the dot after the number. For example:

- 1932 - testing
- 1933 - second-line test

or by excluding the `*` at the beginning:

1. testing
2. second-line test

```md
1932. testing
1933. second-line test

```
