I love it so much when reddit clients think they are smarter and they renumber points 5 to 1 as 5 to 9…

It’s not the client, it’s markup.

this is not a defined thing in markdown, just the markdown renderers of some clients do it

This here is apparently the original source of the markdown specification, and there it clearly says that this is the correct behaviour: https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#list

Ordered lists use numbers followed by periods:

Bird

McHale

Parish

It’s important to note that the actual numbers you use to mark the list have no effect on the HTML output Markdown produces. The > HTML Markdown produces from the above list is:

<ol> <li>Bird</li> <li>McHale</li> <li>Parish</li> </ol>

If you instead wrote the list in Markdown like this:

Bird

McHale

Parish

or even:

Bird

McHale

Parish

you’d get the exact same HTML output

hmm, you are right. it’s not actually a bug in the renderer then
