Numbered lists are misaligned

31 replies

If I include a numbered list in my posts, then when I submit them, the first item is always indented by auto-formatting, but subsequent items aren't, so it looks untidy. I'd prefer it if no auto-formatting was done at all, or if there was some way for me to control it. Here is an example, which will (hopefully) demonstrate the issue when I submit this post:

  1. Item 1
  1. Item 2
  2. Item 3

Looking on both Chrome and Edge on Android, I couldn't get a post to add either bullet points or a numbered list.

Looking at the underlying HTML of @tellem 's first post, the second two items aren't part of the ordered list (<ol> tag), they're just paragraphs that happen to start with a number. Not suggesting that you did something to make that happen, @tellem !

Checking on Edge desktop

  1. Item 1
  2. Item 2
  3. Item 3

Will repeat from Edge on Android

@HebeMumsnet are you using Chrome on Android?

This time I'm going to include a screenshot from before I submit, so you can see I'm not doing anything strange:

  1. Item 1
  2. Item 2
  3. Item 3

Hi @tellem !

  1. I'm going to try this out myself.
  2. They look like they're aligning for me.
  3. If this still aligns when I hit 'post' we'll see if anyone else here can figure out a way round it and get back to you.
