Pdf output contains '.' instead of e.g., "Disclaimer"

Iniziare eseguendo il rendering del modello Copernicus R Markdown fornito con le informazioni di sessione rticles riportate e ispezionare il PDF generato in corrispondenza della clausola di esclusione di responsabilità e delle altre sezioni con dichiarazioni. Individuare quale modello o punto di ingresso del rendering produce i punti inaspettati, quindi verificare che le etichette e il testo previsti vengano renderizzati senza di essi.

I am using a copernicus article:

  \section{Figures and tables in appendices}
  Regarding figures and tables in appendices, the following two options are possible depending on your general handling of figures and tables in the manuscript environment:
  \subsection{Option 1}
  If you sorted all figures and tables into the sections of the text, please also sort the appendix figures and appendix tables into the respective appendix sections.
  They will be correctly named automatically.
  \subsection{Option 2}
  If you put all figures after the reference list, please insert appendix tables and figures after the normal tables and figures.
  
  To rename them correctly to A1, A2, etc., please add the following commands in front of them:
  `\appendixfigures` needs to be added in front of appendix figures
  `\appendixtables` needs to be added in front of appendix tables
  
  Please add `\clearpage` between each table and/or figure. Further guidelines on figures and tables can be found below.
