Creating Lists in Posts
(Not sure if this is the right forum, please move if not)
The list tag is pretty nifty for showing your life lists. Using the numbered list option saves a heck of a lot of time. Like this:
Crispy's Demonstration List
[ list = 1 ]
[ * ]Brown-headed Cowbird
[ * ]Bronzed Cowbird
[ * ]House Finch
[ * ]Pine Siskin
[ /list ]
Which gives us:
Crispy's Demonstration List
- Brown-headed Cowbird
- Bronzed Cowbird
- House Finch
- Pine Siskin
Notice only lines with the [ * ] tag in front of them are actually included in the list. You can add un-listed headings, like showing the various families (which you'd not wish to actually include in the count), but there's a glitch. Observe:
Crispy's Demonstration List
[ list=1 ]
[ b ]Icteridae[ /b ]
[ * ]Brown-headed Cowbird
[ * ]Bronzed Cowbird
[ b ]Fringillidae[ /b ]
[ * ]House Finch
[ * ]Pine Siskin
[ /list ]
Crispy's Demonstration List
Icteridae
- Brown-headed Cowbird
- Bronzed Cowbird
Fringillidae
- House Finch
- Pine Siskin
Notice that it handles the second heading, in this case "Fringillidae", just fine. But it can't seem to manage the first heading, "Icteridae". This appears to be a little glitch in the BBCode. Is this something the Powers That Be can take a look at sometime? I realize it's a small, obscure thing.
