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
