Strange behavior of list

Hello out there,

I am compiling an anatomy test, asking for facts about these four muscles:

M. glutaeus maximus
M. tensor fasciae latae
M. quadriceps femoris
M. pectineus

When I compile this in markdown I get:

1. glutaeus maximus
2. tensor fasciae latae
3. quadriceps femoris
4. pectineus

How can I display the "M."?

Thanks,
Michael

PS.: Also, any help on inserting empty lines would be greatly appreciated...

   Which version of Marked are you using?

   With the built-in MultiMarkdown processor, you should get something more like:

   M. glutaeus maximus M. tensor fasciae latae M. quadriceps femoris M. pectineus

   All on one row because it doesn't recognize it as a list. Do you have any numbered lists preceding this text?

   You can add line breaks to each line by placing two spaces at the end of each row. Blank lines are always compressed, to add additional empty lines you have to use <br> tags.

   I use the latest, i.e. 2.0 (760). But I realized that I was not using MultiMarkdown but Discount in Behavior/Settings (it compiled my previous document a little nicer...).

   When switching this to MultiMarkdown it works perfectly. But I'm still wondering why the other engine wouldn't handle this correctly...

   Thanks a lot, you are a great help!

   Best,
   Michael

   Discount has its own way of handling lists, and I believe it recognizes and character with a period after it as a numbered list item.
