Lists

Post by filiarheni »

I've great trouble with creating a list, no listing icon does it the way I want it to be - what do I do wrong?

I understand that I have to assign the bullet point list icon to every line. But afterwards, it's not single-spaced anymore:
  • test1
  • test2
  • test3
Using the other icon - [*]text - this is the result, single-space but no bullets and no indention:

[*]test5
[*]test6
[*]test7

Using the 123 icon:
  1. test8
    uiu
  • test9
  • test10

:lol: :cry: :lol: All wrong! Why?

I would like bullet points or consecutive numbers and single-spaced rows and indention. Please, can anyone help?

The correct way to use that 'list' tag is by encapsulating the star tags between the two 'list' '/list'.
Thus there is only one 'list' at the beginning, and only one '/list' at the end.
And between the two you put as many stars as you like, each star constituting a new entry in the list :)


Example, you used this syntax:

Code: Select all

[list]test1[/list]
[list]test2[/list]
[list]test3[/list]
Which gives this result:
  • test1
  • test2
  • test3
This creates 3 independent lists, each having only one entry.


 

The correct syntax is instead:

Code: Select all

[list][*]test1
[*]test2
[*]test3[/list]
Which gives one list having three entries :
  • test1
  • test2
  • test3




The same with a numbered list, and a bit of bold to highlight the entries titles :

Code: Select all

[list=1][*][b]test1[/b]
Second line of Test 1
 
[*][b]test2[/b]
Second line of test 2
Third line of test 2
 
[*][b]test3[/b]
blablabla
etc.[/list]
Result:
  1. test1
    Second line of Test 1
     
  2. test2
    Second line of test 2
    Third line of test 2
     
  3. test3
    blablabla
    etc.



 
 
Of course you can embed lists into lists :wink:

Code: Select all

[list=A][*][b]Apple[/b][list=a][*][color=#FF0040]aaaaa[/color][list=1][*][color=#8000FF]zzzzz[*]yyyyy[*]xxxxx[/color][/list][*][color=#FF0040]bbbbb[/color][list=1][*][color=#8000FF]wwwww[*]vvvvv[*]uuuuu[/color][/list][/list][*][b]Banana[/b][list=a][*][color=#FF0040]ccccc[/color][list=1][*][color=#8000FF]ttttt[*]sssss[*]rrrrr[/color][/list][*][color=#FF0040]ddddd[/color][list=1][*][color=#8000FF]qqqqq[*]ppppp[*]ooooo[/color][/list][/list][*][b]Cherry[/b][list=a][*][color=#FF0040]eeeee[/color][list=1][*][color=#8000FF]nnnnn[*]mmmmm[*]lllll[/color][/list][*][color=#FF0040]fffff[/color][list=1][*][color=#8000FF]kkkkk[*]jjjjj[*]iiiii[/color][/list][/list][/list]

Et voilà! :wink: :) Yes, it works! I have just exercised it and "beautified" my recent post here.

Thank you so much, fan_de_LoK, super explanation! :D

Thank you, Patrick! I'm not at all familiar with the list function of this forum (or any other forum), your explanation helps A LOT!! :D
