When user clicks "List" button editor creates [list] and [/list] items, but not [*]. Users need to figure out on their own that they should use [*]
I suggest 2 changes to editor:
1. Automatically add [*] when list is created: [list][*][/list] and place cursor after [*]
2. Add [*] when user presses enter key when inside list, so enter would create new list item
Automatically add list items in bbcode editor
Re: [RFC] Automatically add list items in bbcode editor
I usually create my list first and then add the
- bbcode around it. So none of your solutions would solve my issue.
But it would probably improve usability for many, especially novice users.

I used phpbb for over 10 years and i created my lists like this until today.
As you can imagine, i not used it so much.

Code: Select all
[list]- part1[/list]
[list]- part2[/list]
[list]- part3[/list]

Re: [RFC] Automatically add list items in bbcode editor
As easier way for listing items would be a plus for me too.

Re: [RFC] Automatically add list items in bbcode editor
As long as this won't cause problems entering multiple-paragraph list items, I'm fine with it.

- Paragraph 1
- Paragarph 2
Paragraph 3 - Paragraph 4
Paragraph 5
[*]
is generated and the user presses Enter immediately, the spurious [*]
would be removed. It would also be nice if multiple-paragraph list items added a blank line before the next bullet to avoid Paragraph 3 being located closer to Paragraph 4 than to Paragraph 2.Steve

Slightly better English than it was in 2005, still improving

So maybe if
- Paragraph 1
- Paragarph 2
Paragraph 3- Paragraph 4
Paragraph 5[*]
is generated and the user presses Enter immediately, the spurious[*]
would be removed. It would also be nice if multiple-paragraph list items added a blank line before the next bullet to avoid Paragraph 3 being located closer to Paragraph 4 than to Paragraph 2.
