bbCode plugin not generating lists properly

1 May 27, 2014 07:58    

When I create a list using the BBCode list buttons (unordered, ordered, or variant) the code inserted is incorrect. It only inserts the opening and closing "list" tags, but the individual "list item" tags are missing. I'm seeing the same error on the forums here, though I only went as far as previewing a test post and then looking at the source of the page. So instead of generating:

<ul>
<li>list item 1</li>
<li>list item 2</li>
<li>list item 3</li>
</ul>

it instead generates:

<ul>
list item 1
list item 2
list item 3
</ul>

which then renders on a single line as: list item 1 list item 2 list item 3

Maybe you are missing the [*] marks for items

This code: 


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

will produce this HTML code:


<ul>
  <li>Item 1</li>
  <li>Item 2</li>
  <li>Item 3</li>
</ul>

More information about BB Code could be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode, but remember that not all the syntax referenced there is supported by the plugin.

Oh.. I see.. you have to manually select the * button for every single list item? Wow that's.. inefficient :) Ok, so you select every item, insert the *, then select the whole thing and select a list type.. wow.
