In researchr issue #26, I used an enumeration from 1 to 3, later I continued it with 4, 5. In the edit view, this is correct but when displayed, the enumerations become 1-3 and 1-2 instead of 1-3 and 4-5.

The wiki language used in issue descriptions (markdown) ignores any numbering you use in enumerations. You can write:

1. item 1
1. item 2

just as well as

33. item 1
137. item 2

Both are numbered 1 and 2. Markdown uses the HTML numbered environment to get the numbering right, therefore, when starting a new numbering environment (in a new paragraph), the numbering resets. It is not possible to start numbering from a different start number at the moment (according to the Markdown syntax manual).
