bbcode [list] option

[tim west]

I cant see the point in the List option, shouldnt it bullet the items in the list? whats the point of it when you can just type the text into a list in the editor anyway?

 

[Mod9]

You need to put a [*] at the start of each line to add a bulletpoint, i.e.

[list]
[*]Item number 1
[*]Item number 2
[*]Item number 3
[*]Item number 4
[/list]

Will display:

• Item number 1
• Item number 2
• Item number 3
• Item number 4

Thanks Mod9 one final question whats the difference between List and List= ?

 

[Mod9]

Using just the [list] command will bullet point each item where the [*] is inserted. The [list=] command will sequentially number or letter them i.e:

[list=1]
[*]Item number 1
[*]Item number 2
[*]Item number 3
[*]Item number 4
[/list]


Will display:

1. Item number 1
2. Item number 2
3. Item number 3
4. Item number 4

[list=a]
[*]Item number 1
[*]Item number 2
[*]Item number 3
[*]Item number 4
[/list]


Will display:

• Item number 1
• Item number 2
• Item number 3
• Item number 4
