Normal lists with leading numbers

An old bug in Fitnesse. If you created a normal list with leading numbers in the text, the parser got confused and thought that the leading numbers were part of a numeric list.

A list created as follows

* 50 ways to leave your lover

should be rendered as a normal list with "50 ways to leave your lover" as the text of the list.

• First create a page with a simple table in it.

We use \ here as a way to capture the leading space before the *.

Action Fixture.
start	Page Builder
enter	line	\ * 50 ways to leave your lover.
enter	page	NormalListWithLeadingNumericPage

• Then request that page

Response Requester.
uri	valid?	contents?
NormalListWithLeadingNumericPage	true

• Make sure the html is correct for a simple table.

Response Examiner.
type	pattern	matches?	value
contents	<li>50 ways to leave your lover.</li>	true

Response Examiner.
type	number	string?
line	1	<ul>
line	2	<li>50 ways to leave your lover.</li>
line	3	</ul>
