Are lists broken?

[Anonymous]

Is the list bbcode on this site broken, or am I not using it right? I'm on another phpBB board where lists work by enclosing the list in the list tags (I'm omitting the brackets for obvious reasons) and individual items start with a [*]. But what I get if I try that here is:

[*] Item 1
[*] Item 2
[*] Item 3

Am I just doing this wrong on this site?

Thanks—and apologies if this has already been asked and answered, but I couldn't find anything in the FAQ or this forum.

PP. The bullet in my post did not appear in the preview! I'm still not sure how I should construct lists in posts here, though.

Thanks again.

Just for clarification, we don't use phpBB. That said, I rarely use the "list" feature so I am not sure how it is supposed to work. Let me test it:

one

two

three

Okay, how it works is you put the "list" tags around each list item. I am turning off BB Code on this post so the tags should show:

[list]one[/list]
[list]two[/list]
[list]three[/list]

The tags add a paragraph so if you don't want that, do this:

[list]one[/list][list]two[/list][list]three[/list]

Interesting—it looks so much like phpBB that I assumed that's what it was. I guess that explains why it doesn't quite work like phpBB.

Thanks.
