Markdown Render Newlines - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm working on a Project and give an user the possibility to create a Post.
With loading the Post, i'm calling the markdown method, to extract links and format the text.
Now i got a Problem.
By writing "1. Example" the Output in the Post is a list.
By just writing "1.Example"_ without the whitespace between the point and the text, it'working fine.
My markdown method:
#preview = nil
options = {
autolink: true,
hard_wrap: true
}
begin
URI.extract(text, ['http', 'https', 'www']).each do |uri|
unless text.include?("<a")
text = text.gsub( uri, "#{uri}" )
#preview = LinkThumbnailer.generate(uri)
end
end
rescue OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError => e
end
renderer = Redcarpet::Render::HTML.new(options)
markdown = Redcarpet::Markdown.new(renderer)
markdown.render(text).html_safe
May you know, how to fix it.. I don't want the list, i just want the Output to be the same like the Input!
Thank you, for your time!
EDIT Added a photo to show the output.

Answer 1

You want to use a backslash escape in your Markdown source. As the rules explain:
Markdown allows you to use backslash escapes to generate literal characters which would otherwise have special meaning in Markdown’s formatting syntax.
Among the characters which backlash escaping supports is the dot (.). Therefore your source text should look like this:
1\. Example
Which results in this HTML:
<p>1. Example</p>
And renders as:
1. Example

Answer 2

By default you're going to get the list. Markdown is after all looking for syntax that it recognises in order to generate mark up.
In order to skip particular markdown features I think you're going to need to provide your own custom renderer.
If you define a new renderer:
class NoListRenderer < Redcarpet::Render::HTML
def list(contents, list_type)
contents
end
def list_item(text, list_type)
text
end
end
and use an instance of that instead of the default renderer class when you create your markdown instance it should skip the default list processing. (NB. I haven't tested this code):
renderer = NoListRenderer.new(options)
markdown = Redcarpet::Markdown.new(renderer)
