[bug] Styling of lists on cache pages is broken

[+BigFurryMonster]

I have cache pages which have lists of items, which I created like this:
 

<ul>

<li>item 1

<li>item 2

<li>item 3
</ul>

 

This nicely worked.

 

Now, when saving my cache page after an edit, the cache editor automatically changes this to:

 

<ul>

<li>item 1

<li>item 2

<li>item 3

</li></li></li></ul><li><li><li>

 

which breaks the layout by inserting three additional bullet points.

 

Is this a glitch, or should I re-edit all my cache pages?

Yes?

 

It looks like a bug in the software the site uses to clean up the markup in cache descriptions.

 

But you may be able to work around it by doing the cleanup yourself, by adding the closing </li> tags yourself:

<ul>

<li>item 1</li>

<li>item 2</li>

<li>item 3</li>
</ul>

A small suggestion (sorry not to do with your problem), but it's best to put the flower after the title, as a flower before the title will mean on some GPSs that the name will be blank. After is okay.

<li> tags, are tags that should be closed, so your html is wrong. The formatter/compiler expect a closing tag and try to fix it.

You sould rewreite your list like in niraD post.

hmm, not sure about whether it is required:

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/grouping-content.html#the-li-element

An li element's end tag can be omitted if the li element is immediately followed by another li element or if there is no more content in the parent element.

 

But I applied this and it indeed fixes the problem.
