Automatically add list items in bbcode editor

[Arty]

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

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]

As easier way for listing items would be a plus for me too.

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

So maybe if [*] 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.

Shouldn't be a problem.
