I am struggling with the textfield in kirby:

It is actually very nice that the textfield creates a sorted list by simply writing 1. abc, 2. def etc…

But is there any possibility to stop kirby from doing that? In the imprint of my page i just want to start the paragraph with “1. ABC…” but it always creates a list…

Greetings!  
Frank

It is more of a markdown issue (thing) than Kirby. Nevertheless to get the result you want you can escape the dots in your text.  
The first example will render in a p tag with a line break. The second example will render as a ordered list.

```auto
1\. Lorem
2\. Ipsum

1. Lorem
2. Ipsum

```
