Creating, or pasting text with, numbered lists (OL) fails in the EB Composer WYSI.

If I paste in a formatted list, and ignore the bad non-formatting in the WYSI, I get a pretty good list at the front end.

If I try to create an indented list from scratch, I can't indent or make sublists.

I can't edit the pasted-in text (it breaks the list formatting)

Attached are two captures. One shows the Post editing environment with two lists, the long top one pasted in, the short second one created from scratch. Note the lack of proper formatting. The other capture shows that page from the front end, with correct formatting for the pasted text, no indents or sub-numbers for the manually entered one.

Hi Greg,

I am able to reproduce this issue in my local instance. It appears that some css styling is preventing (OL) from rendering correctly.

I will log this issue in our tracker. In the meantime, you can try using the following custom css and see how it goes.



#eb.eb-view-composer ol {

  margin: 0 0 9px 25px;

}

The WYSI is not engaging the function of indenting at all. Tried using tabs, key +tab, or the Mac's cmd-shft-bracket for indenting text.

The issue is partly due to the css as mentioned above. Once you apply the custom css above, you should be able to indent/outdent using the buttons in the right panel(http://take.ms/GyNk5).

ALSO: I see this on other sites with EB installed, too.

Also, please note that this is not simply a CSS issue, as described here:

Thank you!

This fixed it for the WYSI using the front end post editing tools.

Putting custom css in the custom.scss file did not improve the functions in the back office Post composer, though, as I guess you already knew

You're most welcome Greg.

The official fix, which will be available in the next EasyBlog release will address both the backend and the frontend.

In the meantime, if you want to apply the custom css fix in the backend, you would have to apply it in the backend template's custom css file(create file if it does not currently exist).

Example:
JoomlaFolder/administrator/templates/isis/css/custom.css
