Formatting question

[Mark Sirota]

I just posted a new tip/trick, and can't seem to get it to display the way it displays when I enter it.

Numbered lists show up as bullets, and I can't get a blank line to show up before or after a list.

Trying a blank line between this one and the list below:[list type=decimal]
[li]This is the first in a numbered list.[/li]
[li]This is the second.
[/li]
[/list]

Mark, there was another thread on this started a few months ago, and for what its worth, I have the same issue. Would be nice to get this fixed.

Closest I can get it to shift-enter at the end of a line

• 
  [li]Test line 1
  
  [/li]
  [li]Test line 2[/li]

[/quote]But Victoria, Those still aren't Numbered Lists.

Aaaargh, yes, you're quite right! I only saw the blank lines bit.

HTML code for an ordered List is
<ol>
<li> line 1</li>
<li> line 2</li>
</ol>

an unordered List is
<ul>
<li> line 1</li>
<li> line 2</li>
</ul>
The Simple Machines Software is creating both list types with the <ul> tag. Unless Simple Machines has a bug fix, it looks like we are stuck with bullets.
