Ordered List Errata

The way the boards parses ordered lists is kind of wonky, mostly due to the overlapping use of * as the marker for an ordered list, and as the marker for *italics*. In order to form a proper ordered list, there must be a blank line before the start of the list, or else it starts acting weird (seem the example below). However, there is nothing that indicates the requirement, and using the ordered list formatting button does not create a newline above the start of the list.

• This is what happens
• If you merely start an ordered list
