- Yes I hate this so much.
- Use a better window manager.
- Use a better web stack.

I love it so much when
redditlemmy clients think they are smarter and they renumber points 5 to 1 as 5 to 9..edit: oops, still sometimes writing reddit instead of lemmy after almost 2 years..

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
-
The only difference to the standard that I see is that the standard says it should be 1,2,3,4,5, while at least for me it renders as 5,6,7,8,9.
But that's probably because it doesn't render as HTML and thus doesn't rely on HTML to do the numbering.

but not all web servers. often it's disabled

Oof, that's unfortunate. I can't say I've run into this problem though.
