Hi guys,
We’ve encountered a minor but persistent issue that’s causing some user frustration, this issue mostly effects German users. We realize the core problem lies within Markdown’s inherent behavior and might not be directly alterable.
However, with the new rich text editor, is there a possibility to implement auto-escaping of characters? This would prevent unintended formatting of new lines as numbered lists.
Specifically, users in German locales often start lines with date formats like 15. Oktober.... The editor automatically interprets this as the beginning of a numbered list, which isn’t the user’s intention.
The only workaround for our users is switching back to the Markdown editor and manually escaping the period with a backslash: 15\. Oktober.
Discuss this on our forum.
