List tags not working?
by clueless on 2010-12-24 (#71910)
I am composing a large post. I am trying to create an ordered list / enumeration. I've found three different examples on how to do it (the examples are different). None appear to work on nesdev.

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/misc.php?do=bbcode#list
http://www.bbcode.org/examples/?id=12
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/bbcode.php

[list=]
[*]One
[*]Two
[/list]

[ol]
[li]One[/li]
[li]Two[/li]
[/ol]

[list=]
*One
*Two
[/list]

I understand that nesdev uses an older phpbb. I know very little about bbcode. What is the proper syntax for creating a list on nesdev?

It is [list] and [*], without the =.

Excellent. Thank you.

Why does the help text ~80 pixels above where I am typing RIGHT NOW show both "list=" and "list" ?

I looked it up, it turns out you have to use list=1 or list=a. That selects sequential numbers or letters. The example/help on there does suck.
