Hi,
I just discovered that a paragraph disappeared from a subtree I was
exporting, I guess because the paragraph consists of just a number
followed by a full stop, and was interpreted as a list item. I'm
translating subtitles, and the dialogue went:
#+begin_src org
There are no taxis, but I've got a car.
How much to Dongying?
300.
We can be there 10am tomorrow.
#+end_src
I'm not surprised that "300." got interpreted as a list item, but I
wonder if there's a way to protect against it being removed altogether.
I suppose it might be nice if a single list item with no content would
be interpreted as a paragraph, but that probably opens the door to all
kinds of weird edge cases. If there were just a way to escape it...
Thanks,
Eric

Maybe, except that puts it into monospaced font, and I'd have to wrap
the whole document in a verse block...

You don't say what export target you are using. If LaTeX, you could do:
#+begin_src org
There are no taxis, but I've got a car.
How much to Dongying?
@@latex:@@300.
We can be there 10am tomorrow.
#+end_src
And probably similarly for HTML etc.
Ugly, mind you.

You could insert a zero width space between the number and the dot.

Hi Eric,
I found out that adding any non-space character after the dot prevents org
from interpreting it as a list. In particular, adding a non-breaking-space
entity at the end of the line works, like this: "300.\nbsp"
Maybe other punctuations would also work and make sense in the context of
your document- see `org-entities-help` for the full list of available
entities.

Oops, you're right. But it still feels hacky.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I think I'll go with the zero-width
space before the full stop, that seems the least intrusive, and also the
least like to get "fixed" by other edits/cleanups I do.
Thanks again,
Eric
