Hello,

Markdown allows breaking lines in list items. This improves readability when reading the source in an editor that doesn't break lines. Example:

1. **The first item** may be described by a very long line, that naturally wraps
   when it passes some character limit.
2. **The second line** thus continues, and common markdown renderers seem to
   handle this nicely.

renders quite nicely with Github:

The first item may be described by a very long line, that naturally wraps
when it passes some character limit.
The second line thus continues, and common markdown renderers seem to
handle this nicely.

... but triggers MD029 in the linter. MD029 seems to be for something else.

Sidenote:

Github seems to add a <br> between the lines.
Your live demo does not.
Pandoc does not.

MD029 is correctly reporting here, please see: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/45

However, because this comes up occasionally, I have updated the message to try to clarify that the default numbering behavior is 1/1/1. This will be part of the next release.
