Question

Hello Folks,

I'm fairly new to Twiki and have put a page together using the Forms and Forms-AddOn. I think I have discovered a bug, but am not sure if this is the correct place to post.

When trying to add bullets or numbered lists to a form field, the usual syntax doesn't work:

[Three spaces], [star], [space], Bullet Text...

Just plain text appears when the resulting page is rendered:

 * Bullet Text...

However, when I replace those initial leading three spaces with a tab, a proper twiki bullet list does appear on the resulting page:

• Bullet Text...

Has anyone else noticed this behaviour? I haven't found it (or a fix) documented on this site or google.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

I have a small thing which I have noticed. May be many have noticed this before.
For heading the usual syntax is
At least three dashes at the beginning of a line, followed by plus signs and the heading text. One plus creates a level 1 heading (most important), two pluses a level 2 heading; the maximum is level 6

There is another way . Accidently I came across it.
Instead of "+" use "#" sign. You will have the same effect.

---# Heading 1
---## Heading 2
---### Heading 3
---#### Heading 4
---##### Heading 5
---###### Heading 6

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

Heading 4

Heading 5

Heading 6

That's nice to know, but is it relevant to the above question?
