Version 2.5.33 (974) on High Sierra 10.13.6

I am using markdown to make quizzes leverging the markdown todos - [ ] and <br /> code for short answer questions. The numbering is a bit odd in Marked preview, but turns out fine on print. It switches to bullets (see screenshot).

The other issue I have is that when I use a --- to create a pagebreak for print, it restarts the numbering. I would prefer if it didn't for this use case. See sample doc and PDF output.

   As far as the bullets in the preview, that's odd and I'll need to look into it.

   The hr as page break is still an HR, and will correctly reset a list. You may be able to avoid that by instead using the WordPress syntax <!--more--> for the page break.

   Thanks,

   Ok, I had a chance to do some testing. Regarding the bullets in the preview, that's a change I'll need to make to the internal CSS, but it comes down to Marked forcing a bullet on anything containing a task list. I can't recall at this point if I did this because it's the way GitHub handled it, or if I just made a mistake. I'll look into it. In the meantime, if you want, you can fix it by going to Preferences->Style->Additional CSS, clicking the Edit CSS button, and inserting:

   ol li.task-list { list-style-type: decimal; }
   

   I also tested alternative page break syntax, but anything that creates an element outside of the list is going to cause a new numbered list to start. That's just the way Markdown works, not something Marked is going to work around.
