Posible but at html comments

Terisa de morgan · 07-05-2016, 02:52 AM

Hi,

I don't know if there's info about this but I think I've stomped over a bug in nested lists treatment inside html comments (any text field).

When I create a list like this one:

Green 2016
1. Cover
July 2016
1. Dog

the treatment is OK, but if I create a list like the following one:

Green 2016
- Cover
July 2016
- Dog

It's not parsed OK and I end with something like this

because the html code looks like this:

Code:

<div><ol><li>Green 2016</li></ol><ul><li>Cover</li></ul><li>July 2016</li><ol><li>Dog</li></ol></div>

instead of

Code:

<div><ol><li>Green 2016</li><ul><li>Cover</li></ul><li>July 2016</li><ul><li>Dog</li></ul></ol></div>

That comes from Qt WebKit, not something I have control over, unfortunately.

Is there any way to work around it?

Use the HTML mode to edit the comments by hand.

It doesn't work. I edit it, write the proper lists... but it is rebuilt prior to saving, so it's wrong.

Works for me.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong:

Edit book details
Switch to "Html code" sheet
Edit html code
Press <<Accept>>

The list is saved with wrong format.

That is correct and it works for me, example HTML code

Code:

<div><ol><li>one<ul><li>xxx</li></ul></li>
<li>two<ul><li>yyy</li></ul></li>
</ol>

</div>

The code is right, but it is saved wrong. I'm going to try to debug it more.
