Quarto bullets with parentheses has unexpected behavior

[shannonpileggi]

Description

I was making some bullets with parentheses adjacent to the asterisk and I observed some unexpected behavior such that the parentheses didn't print and the indenting on the bullets adjusted.

Is this a function of some markdown type syntax I am not aware of? Perhaps capabilities to make custom bullets/indentation? Is there a way to leverage what is contained in the parentheses as a "bullet" but omit printing of the closed circle?

I believe you nested two lists: a list with asterisks and one with numeric (startnum).
That's Pandoc markdown extended syntax.

You can check that by inspecting the HTML code produced.

Got it, thank you very much!

I agree with mcanouil, see the test entry below and the dots behind your numbers.
You need to escape at least the closing parentheses:
