Hello!

I'm experiencing issues with changing the markers with ordered lists in PreTeXt.Plus. 

Here is what I have written:

<objectives>
<introduction>
<p>
In this section, you will learn how to:
</p>
</introduction>
<ol marker="1.">
<li>
<p>
Estimate limits numerically.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Evaluate limits graphically.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Evaluate limits of polynomials algebraically.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Recognize when a limit does not exist.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Evaluate limits of rational functions algebraically.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</objectives>

This loads just fine in the preview (see attachment "objectives.png"). 

But when I want to rebuild the corresponding website, it fails: "Failed: The most recent build failed"

When I change <ol marker="1."> to <ol>, it changes the markers to letters a, b, ... (which I don't want), but the website will successfully rebuild. 

Note: I've also tried <ol marker="1"> (no period) and <ol marker="(1)"> and <ol marker="(A)"> just to see if those would work, but none of them do. They all display properly in the preview, but I'm not able to rebuild the website. 

I don't see any error messages. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. 

Any help is appreciated! Thank you so much!
