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.
