Dear briangpowell, there is definitely a space in the third line.
Also, it does not simply produce no output, it says "No link found". Plus, when I change it to a numbered list starting with 1., 2., 3. .... it works. I have also run this with my .emacs file disabled, so it cannot be my option settings. Are you sure you use the same emacs and org-mode version as I do? I use emacs 46.1 emacs24 24.5+1-6+b1 org-mode 8.3.3-3 What else could it be that makes our systems behave differently? Best regards, Josef.
