{LIST} bug

[chaos945]

Below is an example of the bug, generating the table via the "wizard" does not create the bug it must be "hard coded". Note the extra bullet.

• 
  This line has a bug:
• Test a
• Test b
  Normal
• Test a
• Test b

{list}
{b}This line has a bug:{/b}
{*}Test a
{*}Test b
{b]Normal[/b]
{*}Test a
{*}Test b
{/list}

After playing with it for a bit, I realized it is part of the way the {list} function is used; the first line must use a bullet. Did this change; or am I crazy, I swear I used to start a list with a title w/o a bullet.

I'll add this to the vb bug tracker.

I've found that if I put the first line of info on the line beginning the /list I can avoid an empty bullet. But still no title.

Don't think there's much Jelsoft can do on this one. If you use the command right, there is no problem, it's just creating HTML from your input.

 

[Electronic Punk]

Depends on the HTML they use to parse it.

 

[SPeedY_B]

[list] should create a <ul>
[*] should create <li> (and hopfully end the line with </li> for compliancy)
[/list] should create a </ul>

In theory anyway, there's probably more to it than a simple replace function. 🙂

Checking the source of this page out:

<ul><li><br />
Test</li><li>test<br />
Test</li><li>test<br />
Test</li></ul>

seems the line break breaks it up, is a line break even needed?
I would guess thats jelsofts doing

*shakes fist*

 

[SPeedY_B]

No it's not. I swear they have a line break fetish over a Jelsoft. I think it was PHP before that we found double spacing on. Grrr. 😀

<ul>
<li>item</li>
<li>item</li>
<li>item</li>
</ul>

That's how it should be. Doesn't have to be on a new line for each, that can all be on one line, just looks neater and is easier to follow.

I am starting to think this is the way we will have to do things... just make sure you put

any text above the first bullet point...
