Rendering of Inline Query result with bullet market

Bug Description

When the inline dataview query results contains a markdown bullet market (say + or -), the live view as well as preview view considers that to be a bullet market and accordingly, it renders it as a new line bullet point.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have an inline query with results including a bullet marker.
  2. View it in preview or live mode.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide?

Yes. Bug is unresolved.

Two workarounds that may or may not jive with you…

If you know your result will begin with a list marker followed by a space (such as path requests within your + Start folder), then you could escape it:

`="\\" + this.file.path`

Or change your folder name to +Start, without the space.

Two cents from a fellow Dataview user. That’s actually how I would want Dataview to behave. If I have a list-item marker at the beginning of a query result, I would want it to render a list. Such as how:

`="- [ ] final review: " + this.file.name`

… makes a list checkbox on purpose.
