Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/34

The following text triggers linting rules MD 29 and 30/32.

This example text triggers linting rules number 29 and
32. If no sentence follows the previous one, linting rules 29 and 30 are triggered.

A possible solution would be to search first for dot (.) in the line preceding the supposed ordered list. Only when . is found should rules 29, 30/32 be triggered.

Case of falsely recognised unordered list:

This example text triggers linting rule number 32
- and sometimes rule number 4.

@DavidAnson commented on GitHub (Jan 15, 2017):

After reading the spec, I learned that un/ordered lists do interrupt a paragraph - with the exception of numbers other than "1.". The specification explains this well: http://spec.commonmark.org/0.27/#lists

Based on that, you can verify that the second of the examples above is (correctly) parsed as an unordered list: https://markdown-it.github.io/

I'll have a fix for the first of the examples above tomorrow. Thanks for reporting this!
