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 *.
