Forceful conversion to numbered lists in messages causes messages to change in meaning

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

  1. Someone asks me a question:
We have three choices here:
1. Pizza with pineapple
2. Sushi
3. Ramen

What do you want to eat?
  1. I answer: 2. sounds good
  2. I’m brought pizza with pineapple because Element Android changed my 2. to 1. due to its internal conversion to numbered list (with a single item)

This is incredibly awful.

Outcome

What did you expect?

That my message is displayed how it was sent.

What happened instead?

The meaning of my message was changed.

Operating system version

Android 10

Application version and app store

1.3.9

it is really horrible when you try to make an appointment and e.g. suggest “4. April” and depending whether the other person(s) use(s) element web, android, or iOS, they see “1. April”. Then suddenly on 1. April you get a call why you’re late.

How is this only a minor issue? This makes element unusable on Android.
