Solution 1 - Markdown

From the Markdown Syntax Documentation:

>It’s worth noting that it’s possible to trigger an ordered list by accident, by writing something like this: > >1986. What a great season. > >In other words, a number-period-space sequence at the beginning of a line. To avoid this, you can backslash-escape the period: > >1986\. What a great season.

Solution 2 - Markdown

Use an invisible character:

⁣1.

I did this as my MD processor didn't support the 1\. escaping notation used in Ethan's answer here.
