I want to write a simple diary as a .md file in the folder Documents of my NC. But it’s annoying. Every day, when I want to enter the date of the day as a new line, NC transforms this line as an item of a imaginary numbered list. When I click above on the button in order to deactivate the numbered list formatting the numer of the date is vanishing.
How can I avoid this behaviour?
I want that 4. Mai 2023 remains as 4. Mai 2023 but will not be transformed into the imaginary item No. 4 of a numbered list.
In this case, there is nothing that could be done to disable “auto-formating”, because 1 or any number followed by a . is the actual Markdown syntax for Numbered Lists, so the only way to prevent this from happening is to use a “workaround” like the ones posted by me and @ernolf
@vatolin: I just created a new md file on NC 26.0.1 and entered “4. Mai 2023” as mentioned in your example and nothing changes by itself (no numbered item is created… just the plain text). Closing and opening the file does also not change anything.
Did you actually type it in, or did you paste it in?
For me it only happens when I actually type 4.SPACE. It doesn’t happen when I paste the complete date at once. I’m using Nextcloud 26.0.1 with Text 3.7.2.
That’s was my first thought too. But any number.SPACE is actually the official markdown syntax for numbered lists, so I don’t think the devs should change anything here.
