numbers formatted as list items

Hi,
I'm using twine  2.01 and Harlowe and am getting an issue where a decimal number is displayed as a list item if it starts with "1."
for example:
(set: $aarrggh to 1 / 2)
(set: $OK to 1.5)
This is OK: $OK
Arrgh, this is a list item $aarrggh
It only happens when the number to be displayed is a variable that has been calculated
is there a way to make decimal numbers always render "inline", i.e. not as a list item?

    Whoops - my example was wrong...  :-[   
    (set: $aarrggh to 1 / 2)
    (set: $OK to 0.5)
    This is a list: $OK
    Arrgh, this is also a list item $aarrggh
    I know that the documentation states that numbered lists are of the form 0.n - so what I should have asked is "is there a way to override the in-built numbered list format for the times when I don't want a list?

    The nonsense in my original question about "it only happens when the number ... has been calculated" arose because I foolishly imagined that 1/2 was 1.5 and not 0.5 - duh!
    sorry about that.

    Just ran into this today. Unlike Markdown, Harlowe does not recognize \ as an escape character. You have to enclose the characters you want suppressed in ` marks instead.

    Example: I wanted to name the version of Twine I was using in the credits. I did this first:
    This was made using Twine 2.0.3.
    But that produced an ordered list. So I fixed it like this:
    This was made using Twine `2.0.3.`
    This generates the text I had intended. I've only been at this for a day and I am often finding I have to work around Harlowe rather than with it.
