Important: This website is now read only (except to admins) to comply with the UK Online Safety Act. Composr CMS is in the process of migrating to a new Constitutional governance model and Bazaar development model, with functionality of the old website (constructed by ocProducts Ltd, the prior copyright holder, a UK company) spread between GitLab and the new website (which has no connections to the UK).
I was creating a new FAQ entry today and to have nice formatting I attempted to use the Comcode list tag for the first time. I like that you can have list elements span muliple lines. Makes the output presentation much cleaner and readable. I mimiced the example found in the Comcode Tutorial. Image

This is what I did:
Code
[list="1"]
[*] one
and blank line
[*] two
and blank line
[/list]
And this is the outcome I got:
one
and blank line
two
and blank line
There should only be 2 entries but for some reason the list starts with an empty first slot, so I wind up with three.
To fix this, I did:
Code
[list="1"]one
and blank line
[*] two
and blank line
[/list]
That seemed to work.
Not sure if this same behavior exhibits itself across the site, but this is what was happening when I used the list tag while creating a new FAQ entry.

This issue has now been filed on the tracker as issue #4226, with a fix.
If not, please let us know how we can do better (please try and propose any bigger ideas in such a way that they are fundable and scalable).
If so, please let others know about Composr whenever you see the opportunity or support me on Patreon.
If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.
Okay, thanks Chris. I'll check out the hotfix and see if that addresses what I experienced. Not a big deal as I was able to work around it, but wanted to share in case it hadn't been reported already.
