Bad formatting for Maze Maker exercise

Bad formatting for the instructions sections of Maze Maker exercise.
Can be seen on the exercise's online editor.

Hum, I’m wondering if this is an issue in the viewer. I can’t find a source that would have line ending at this location.

Definitely an issue with the viewer. The source for the instructions is this:

elm/exercises/concept/maze-maker/.docs/instructions.md

Lines 51 to 53 in 5898167

	Define the `mazeOfDepth n` generator so that it generates a maze of depth `n`.
	Only the deepest level `0` should contain dead ends or treasure rooms (with equal probability), all other levels should be a branch containing mazes of depth `n - 1` generated recursively with `mazeOfDepth`.
	Make sure to use `deadend`, `room` and `branch` in the generator.

The viewer is interpreting the minus sign in n - 1 to be the first item of a list.
I have no idea how the viewer could be fixed, we could try the workaround of removing spaces in n-1?

This line here in complex numbers exercise is similar (inline code with -):

elm/exercises/practice/complex-numbers/.docs/instructions.md

Line 6 in 5898167

The conjugate of the number `a + b * i` is the number `a - b * i`.

But it's formatting is correct in edit view

So, it's weird behavior.

@jiegillet's suggestion seem potential solution for now.

Maybe the n - 1 is being confused with \n - 1 which would be a bulleted list.

In which case we could use a different symbol instead of n.

We could also try and escape the -?

Markdown supports that, so it would work in theory ...

[jiegillet]

I doubt it thinks it's a \n because the n is rendered.
Escaping the - is my new favorite potential solution. let's try that!

[ceddlyburge]

Ok, I'm happy to try that. I should have time tomorrow.

This issue was closed automatically when we merged the PR, but I actually never checked that it worked.
It worked :)
