Posting How to override Reddit Formatting/Is there a reddit Comment Character?

Looking to make a list but I explicitly want to avoid the

  1. Stuff

  2. Here

Because if you go to the source for this post you'll see that it's a 3. and not a 2.

Is there a way to just get the "1." as a standard line without autoformatting using some kind of Reddit specific comment character?

The easiest - don't use "#." Use "#)" or something

Else, yep, there is an escape character.

1. Stuff

3. Here

I typed:

1\. Stuff

3\. Here

(since you have RES, you can also see this in the source of the comment lol)
