I’m just testing something, ignore this post it’s about MN formatting

I want to make a list on MN.

  1. this is nice
  2. this is great
  3. this is lovely.

The formatting is already out slightly when i look at this numbered list, number 1 is too far indented. 2 and 3 are fine though.

I wonder what will happen when I post this message….

I don't see numbers, just bullet points (but the alignment of the first one is off)

So why is it when numerous threads I see are are posted, the number 1 is indented pretty far in, but the subsequent numbers are tabbed much further left? Confused

I don’t expect anyone to be bothered about this so don’t reply anyone else. I just wanted to do it myself

Your numbered list looks fine (numbered, even) to me on a computer.

PuppyMonkey · 27/06/2023 23:13

This is bizarre because when others post numbered lists I always see it number 1 is too far off to the right. But my list looks ok to me. What are others seeing?

Even weirder but on the app the numbers are not numbers- they are bullet points? The first bullet shows the wording indented too

I see the same as @dudsville .

Numbered, not bulleted.
No indents.

I'm on the app and I see this:

This is what it looked like before I posted it (on iPhone, mobile site) number 1 slightly off. But on posting it, it looks ok. How weird.

This is odd! Why is it different between different bits of tech?

PuppyMonkey · 27/06/2023 23:26

Oh yes, except there were definitely numbers in my post.

All very strange.

  • wonders if asterisks does something weird too.

  • Maybe not?

OP posts:
PuppyMonkey · 28/06/2023 07:43

Ah. Changed them into bullet points. Grin

I don't understand how they have programmed all this wanky formatting but forgot auto-capitalising for new paragraphs.

I've seen what you're talking about too OP.

  1. I have a hypothesis that I will test in this list.
  2. Unfortunately it requires me to think of long sentences to trial it.
  3. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 28/06/2023 10:29

Hmm, no, that looks ok!

LadyJ2023 · 28/06/2023 10:38
