<![CDATA[[Solved] Why do (some) ordered lists show no numbers?]]>Shouldn't ordered lists show list numbers? For example, writing

1. This is the first list item

2. This is the second list item

results in

  1. This is the first list item

  2. This is the second list item

which I believe will show no numbers when posted (it doesn't do so on the preview pane). I don't get what the problem is; at a glance I see no difference in the code from other forum posts successfully displaying list item numbers.

To get them to show, don't put lines between them.

This isn't necessary with markdown on reddit though. Numbers/bullets show up just as you'd expect.

  1. this
  2. that
  3. another thing

When you use blanks between the list items in the editor, each list item content gets wrapped in a paragraph. That's supposed to happen. However, something with that situation and the css causes the numbers/bullets to be hidden/removed.

According to inspector, it's the overflow: hidden in:

body#dashboard_profile_operabadges table td.Message p {
    margin-bottom: 1em;
    overflow: hidden;
}

However ...

  1. item 1

  2. item 2

  3. item 3

As you see, no number is shown.

a. item a

b. item b

c. item c

Apparently letters are ignored.

Shouldn't ordered lists show list numbers?

If I understood correctly, nope
