BBCode Tag Formatting for Lists

Content warning: this is dull and technical.

First of all, thanks to JB for the super detailed and helpful Formatting Codes post. Everything I've tried from that page seems to work as-advertised, but I noticed that when I use the "Preview" button to see what my posts will look like, lists made with the [blist] and [nlist] tags don't render correctly in the preview (they show up aligned and indented but without bullets or numbers) even though they end up looking right in the actual post. I pasted in example below.

Is this a quirk of my browser or true for others too?


Raw Code

[blist]
[item] Bulleted item 1[/item]
[item]Bulleted item 2[/item]
[item] Bulleted item 3[/item]
[/blist]

[nlist]
[item]Numbered item A[/item] [item] Numbered item B[/item] [item] Numbered item C[/item]
[/nlist]


Output in Preview
(every [indent] shows up as an actual whitespace indent in the actual preview)

Bulleted item 1
Bulleted item 2
Bulleted item 3

[indent]Numbered item A
[indent]Numbered item B
[indent]Numbered item C


Output in Actual Post

• Bulleted item 1
• Bulleted item 2
• Bulleted item 3

1. Numbered item A
2. Numbered item B
3. Numbered item C

Using Safari 12 (iPhone X, iOS 12.4.1) the preview renders the same as the actual post. What browser and version are you using?

• Test 1
• yolo

Preview worked fine for that. Let’s try nlist

1. bring back nathan
2. ”the limit does not exist”

Nlist looks fine in preview, too.

Preview is also correctly formatted using Firefox 69.0 on Windows 10 1903. Looks like it's a problem with the OP's browser.

I don't know what version of Chrome I'm using, but I'm using Chrome. When editing my previous post and previewing it, I see the same thing OP is referring to.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Like RS, I'm using Chrome, but I just updated to Version 77.0.3865.90 (Official Build) (64-bit) and the problem seems to be gone:

1. This list
• (including this indent)
2. looked correct in preview!

So, apologies for what turned out to be a waste of time. Looks like this was just a passing bug.

Incidentally, for anyone desperate to save a few keystrokes, it looks like the following tags are all interchangeable, even though they're not currently listed on JB's formatting codes:
[blist] is the same thing as [ul] (short for "unordered list")
[nlist] is the same thing as [ol] (short for "ordered list")
[li] is the same thing as [item] (short for "list item")
