MansionNET Forum

The unordered list button in the post editor does not seem to generate working list formatting. When I click it, it inserts:

[*] List item

Which appears as:
[*] List item

However, this does not render as a list when the post is submitted. Using Markdown formatting manually works:

- List item

Which appears as:

• List item

It looks like the editor button could inserting BBCode even though the forum uses Markdown. I am using Firefox on macOS. I have not tested this on other platforms.

So the way it works is you first click the "ordered list" and then use the list item to mark the lists. You can choose to do numbered lists or A., B., C. type lists by putting "1" or "A" in the list= part of the ordered list thing, so list=1 will give you a list like

1. Bingo

2. Bango

3. Bongo

And list=a will give a list like

1. Dille

2. Dalle

3. Dong

Ooohhh that makes so much more sense. I'm going to drop this in a codeblock for anyone who comes across it at a later date:

[list=a]
[*]Dille
[*]Dalle
[*]Dong
[/list]

Sorry for the misreport! I'm so used to markdown that BBcode feels very strange to me.

Hehehe, no worries, that's why we have our trusty Hardelli around (and for other reasons of course!)

No problem at all. Its been at least 20-25 years since I last used BBCode so I was a bit rusty and didn't actually remember how things worked, this was a good kick in the arse for me to do some relearning, lol. Was meant to do that like 3 weeks ago...
