User-friendly lists.

[Solomon]

The list function is nice, but it took me a while to figure out how to use them correctly (and only did I figure it out because GD used the same format), so I was wondering if it could be made easier for those not familiar with phpBB to know about its functional capabilities? When you hover over the List and List= button for the help text, it only suggests

Code: Select all

List: [list]text[/list]

and

Code: Select all

Ordered list: [list=]text[/list]

However, when trying to follow this tip's format, you get:

Cho Chikun
Cho Hunhyun
Go Seigen
Gu Li
Lee Changho
Kobayashi Koichi

[list=]
Cho Chikun
Cho Hunhyun
Go Seigen
Gu Li
Lee Changho
Kobayashi Koichi
[/list]

Code: Select all

[list]
Cho Chikun
Cho Hunhyun
Go Seigen
Gu Li
Lee Changho
Kobayashi Koichi
[/list]

[list=]
Cho Chikun
Cho Hunhyun
Go Seigen
Gu Li
Lee Changho
Kobayashi Koichi
[/list]

The first "kind of" works, and the second not so much; I am, as they say, "doing it wrong" despite obediently following the tip. Here's how to correctly use the list function:

• Cho Chikun
• Cho Hunhyun
• Go Seigen
• Gu Li
• Lee Changho
• Kobayashi Koichi

1. Cho Chikun
2. Cho Hunhyun
3. Go Seigen
4. Gu Li
5. Lee Changho
6. Kobayashi Koichi

1. Cho Chikun
2. Cho Hunhyun
3. Go Seigen
4. Gu Li
5. Lee Changho
6. Kobayashi Koichi

Code: Select all

[list]
[*]Cho Chikun
[*]Cho Hunhyun
[*]Go Seigen
[*]Gu Li
[*]Lee Changho
[*]Kobayashi Koichi
[/list]

[list=1]
[*]Cho Chikun
[*]Cho Hunhyun
[*]Go Seigen
[*]Gu Li
[*]Lee Changho
[*]Kobayashi Koichi
[/list]

[list=a]
[*]Cho Chikun
[*]Cho Hunhyun
[*]Go Seigen
[*]Gu Li
[*]Lee Changho
[*]Kobayashi Koichi
[/list]
