Hello Team,

Whenever we give
Input: <p>1. Hello My name is Subham</p> to this html2text.
output: 1\. Hello My name is Subham

The extra "\" after numeric digit is not needed. This is very specific appearing after numerics whenever there is a "." (dot) and whitespace following to it.

Could you please help to escape this.
