Does it work in post?
BBCode lists are kinda crappy... This works fine:
But when you're replying and quoting individual items in the list you get this:
...unless you add a new list tag for each quote. Even though that is in fact the expected behavior, it's still annoying, so I just tend to avoid lists.
- Random list:
- First item;
- Second item;

Quote:
[*] First item;

It wasn't a question. I figured it out. 
Really I was trying to figure out if it worked in a post differently than in preview, and it turned out it didn't. The = after List for ordered list really threw me, because it's not a place to put a parameter!

Yeah, that confused me a bit too.
- The BBCode element for ordered and unordered lists is called "list"
- The list element is transformed into an HTML ol or ul element based on its attribute being present or absent
- Each item in the list is inside a "*" element
- Like HTML (and unlike XHTML), BBCode has elements whose closing tag is optional in certain circumstances because the element can't directly contain itself
- For example, the closing tag for the * element is optional
