"List" and "List="

[a-cut-above]

Would someone explain the "List" and "List=" functions? What is the difference and how do you use them?
Thanks.

Maybe you are not keeping a correct angle all the time.

These are functions you can use while making a post, along with Quote and Code and so on.

I just tried them out, and I don't get how they work either. I think they SHOULD give you, respectively, an indented list and an indented list with every item numbered.

Above my pay grade, I still write with a fountain pen.

After exhaustive testing, I've found that the difference is that List works and List= is not operational.

Here is a list of razors. I wrote them one per line, highlighted the group, and then clicked on the List button.

• Merkur
  Gillette
  Parker
  Weishi

The effect was to skip two lines and indent. As notthesharpest already said, I suspect List= is to create an indented, numbered list <ol></ol> but it doesn't seem to be working.

I also use a fountain pen.

So do I. I love the Waterman and Parkers I have but they skip when I try to use them on the screen.

I use a scrap of charcoal from the fire. For precision work, I bite the corners off my charcoal to form a point.

But I like my fountain pen too.

I was given a fountain pen once; it didn't do too well on my clay tablets.

Charcoal works extrememly well on clay tablets........and I am still annoyed that one can't read email messages written on the screen with a fountain pen. Is it because the ink skips?

Yes, it's the water-based ink. Use a wax crayon. (Or the charcoal.)
