Why are lines beginning with numbers being treated as headings?

0

The software can detect numbered headings. Any lines that begin with numbers are checked to see if they are the next heading. This check includes checking the number is (nearly) in sequence, and that the line is (nearly) at the right indentation. If the line meets these criteria, it is likely to become the next heading, often causing the real heading to be ignored, and sometimes completely upsetting the numbering sequence. You can fix this by editing the source so that the “number” either occurs at the end of the previous line, or has a different indentation to that expected for headings.
