Emboldening only one level of unordered bullets forces child bullets into bold

[BudWarrior]

@Muiredach the emboldening of only the top level bullets messes up child bullets. Markup also goes mad,

I wanted to fix it in the below post. Editing instantly rendered the existing post incompletely, losing some bullets in question. They are still there though, when cancelling edits and viewing the existing post.

Feels like something to do with the visual WYSIWYG editor view sometimes breaking the real underlying forum markup.

I also tried pasting the list back in as plain text to rebuild the formatting from scratch. Same problem strikes when emboldening a top level bullet in a multilevel unordered list.

Clinics Thread 'Consumption frequency and levels, moderation, t-breaks, clinics and such'

9th Oct, 2024

Saw the below Reddit post and I thought it was an interesting conversation starter.

I am wondering about the ups and downs of our consumption;

• Frequency and Volume of consumption
  • Usually two to three times a day, sometimes 5 or 6, sometimes none
  • Usually 0.2 - 0.03g a time, usually around 0.15g, sometimes two to three times that
• T-breaks or moderating periods
  • Only seems relevant to us if we have a tough period that needs extra medicating, but then we want to avoid higher usage when we feel better later

The issue here is that there's double bold opening tabs in the underlying BBCode which the WYSIWYG editor must have populated, here's a screenshot of the current version:


If you click the brackets icon '[ ]' to the very right of the toolbar, then you'll be able to view your post in straight BBCode and more readily fix as appropriate.

The fix in this case, I've edited the OP:

Yeah, exactly what I saw, although I couldn't remember that the markup name was bbcode specifically. Thanks for the edit. It's lost the second parent bullet when you clickes edit, like for me.

I'll find a BBCode explanation video and share it at some point for people's reference. Forums' users tend not to realise the underlying BBCode side of it and it causes confusion sometimes.

Valid point, very much something that would benefit others. It's a thread worth a sticky somewhere for sure. Thank you

Could you explain this again please?

There was a "Volume of Consumption" parent before the grams child. That disappears/ed when editing the original post. The browser WYSIWYG editor gets confused when editing that original, ironically confused by the pickle it tied itself in when creating the post in the first place with the parent bolding. And the full content was there before any edit, albeit with the confused markup.

No idea if Xenforo has other editor options or what's best. Some CMSs have choices between this, that, MCE, etc (and different versions of those editor libraries) to pump into the browsers.

No biggy though. Clear enough

It's the editor fun I wanted to flag is all
