List

[ol]  
[li]een[/li][li]twee[/li][li]boom[/li][li]angst[/li][/ol]

End of the list

In the test display, this was indented to the list’s level. But I expected the left margin to return to the level of before the list. Hmmm.

Hmmm. Final version is as the test version. What happens if I put two lists in one post.

[ul]

blah blah blah

If you make a numbered list like…

[list=1]  
[\*]item  
[\*]item  
[\*]item  
[/list=1]

[list=1]  
[li]item[/li][li]item[/li][li]item[/li][/list=1]

You need to end the list with the same tag. It also works for mulitple indented lists…

[list=1]  
[\*]item 1  
[list=A]  
[\*]subitem  
[\*]subitem  
[/list=A]  
[\*]item  
[/list=1]

[list=1]  
[li]item 1[/li][list=A]  
[li]subitem[/li][li]subitem[/li][/list=A]  
[li]item[/li][/list=1]

Navigator, thanks. That wasn’t exactly clear from the vB explanations. (Just like super/subscript, which is not explained at all.) Nesting works through several levels. (Not that I need it, just making sure.)

Ahem.

Just read the vB instructions again. It’s in there. The list thing.

URL works. That’s nice. Display on 640 wide looks good. But then again, I’m not using a PC.

Oh lord, that means starting up my PC-card. Yawn.

Netscape displays the incorrectly formatted lists as if they were correct. ☹ Maybe that explains why the program is a little over 10 MB in size. 🙂

Text formatting’s OK though.

Hé Koudvuur,

Having “some” Real Life problems lately, so I’m not getting the things done that I’d like to. Mostly I’m limiting my SDMB time to lurking. Last Thursday I had the time & inclination to fool around a little.  
But, by the end of this month those RL-problems will be processed (not necessarily solved). [DUTCH] Wat is engels toch een beperkte kuttaal; wat ik wil zeggen is: afgewerkt (niet noodzakelijk opgelost). Maar ja, wat verwacht je van een taal die geen woorden heeft voor “leedvermaak”, “Weltschmerz” en “knieholte”? [/DUTCH] Thursday I’m going to London for the (extended) weekend. (I was going on the 14[sup]th[/sup], but then there were some other problems: no petrol in the UK, the whole of the NL/B border closed off, and me having planned to travel to Dover from Oostende (B).) After that weekend it won’t be too long before another thread by my hand will appear in The Pit.

The layout of the OP will be somewhat familiar. 🙂 The tone of voice will most definitely be. 😃

For now I’m finding some consolation in Tony Martin’s (Black Sabbath) roaring:

> [@](#):

> So many people tried before

> No one like you could ever get through my door

Later.
