      Now on Firefox, I can see the numbers!
      Why didn't I with Chrome?

      In Opera, I can see them too! <_<

          May I try a list, too?

          • Item one (dash space)

          • Item two the same

          • Item three same with empty line before

            ^ Only the first one has a bullet in my Opera Dev25. Can anyone confirm?

              Yes, but would you mind showing your input?

                • Asterix space

                • again, just in next line

                • again with empty line before

                • again with 2 empty lines

                • and again with 3 lines before

                Ok... have to wait 600 seconds... lets add dash-space lines:

                • dash space just after the normal text line

                • and in the next line

                • with an empty line in between

                • with 2 empty lines

                • with three empty lines

                  • dash space dash space, one empty line before.
                  • asterisk space asterisk space, directly after the previous entry
                  • asterisk space dash space. It's silly, I know.
                  • dash space asterisk space. That's enough.

                  - dash space
                  - dash space again
                  
                  - dash space with empty line
                  

                  Yes, but would you mind showing your input?

                  Actually, it was just like the items are named. Let's see if this works with the (pre)...

                    Look at the html. All three lines get put into a (ul), but the first (li) has the text without an added (p). So the (p)aragraph removes the bullet?

                      Testing again, this is normal text.

                      • star space following in newline

                      • star space following

                      • star space after an empty line

                      • star space following

                      • star space following

                      Normal text again, following an empty line.

                      • dash space after an empty line

                      • dash space following

                      • dash space after an empty line

                      • dash space after an empty line

                      Now, all of the above in pre:

                      Testing again, this is normal text.
                      * star space following in newline 
                      * star space following
                      
                      * star space after an empty line 
                      * star space following
                      * star space following
                      
                      Normal text again, following an empty line.
                      
                      - dash space after an empty line
                      - dash space following
                      
                      - dash space after an empty line
                      
                      - dash space after an empty line
                      

                      Now it removes something from pre???? The stars and dashes are in the "pre" when I edit the comment, but only the first two survive.

                          SNAFU, innit. These are copied from the Markdown link: A plus starts the line, then 3 spaces.

                          • Candy. one empty line before

                          • Gum. no empty line

                          • Booze. no empty line

                          • Candy. one empty line before

                          • Gum. no empty line

                          • Booze. no empty line

                          break: one empty line before

                          • Candy. one empty line before

                          • Gum. one empty line before

                          • Booze. one empty line before

                          break: one empty line before

                          • Candy. one empty line before
                          • Gum. no empty line
                          • Booze. no empty line

                          test in between text

                          • dash space new list
                          • dash space
                          • dash space

                          two or more empty lines are treated the same as one empty line.
                          An empty line seems to start a new paragraph, which removes the bullet of that (li) but sometimes (always?) also of the previous (li)! You need an empty line to start the (ul). So the way to go is to use one empty line, then all your list items with stars or + or dash, but never with empty lines in between. If you want two lists, you need some normal text in between, with empty lines above and below.

                            Hey,

                            • star space
                            • star space

                            • star space

                            • star space

                            What's that BS? Your output didn't correspond with the input?
                            (By the way, how did you do that input display? segmented the element?)

                              Nope. But I believe I've figured it out: Do not use empty lines in a list, ever.
                              It's actually in the help about Markdown, though it does not explain why an empty line removes the bullet from the li before and after it.

                              (By the way, how did you do that input display? segmented the element?)

                              Hm? I used <pre> tags, if that's what you mean.

                                In Chrome I saw this differently, and I tried `

                                ` - it didn't work right.

                                  Does anybody know if there's a way to make a textual tooltip like with"<abbr></abbr>" on MyOpera - other than messing with the Markdown links syntax (...)?

                                  Just found a tip:

                                  ...

                                  ...
                                  Who knows how to make such a tooltip under a forum smilie?

                                  Just managed to make a smilie tooltipped: when you insert one, it puts itself embraced with spaces - one on each side — just have them included along with your smilie within the <abbr> - that's it

                                  And besides, I just saw a normal "XP" word in the "Windows" section posted in a comment. Let me try if they've "remedied" the smilie's code:

                                  XP
                                  😕
                                  It works! :idea:
                                  Let me see the smilie then? " :XP: " – yey! :cheers:
                                  Thanks, dudes! :drunk:

                                    Let me try local links syntax if it works [right] here:

                                    A link to my previous comment here.
                                    (It seems working - though may "enhance" the actual URL somehow.) Add.--> No, something's wrong. Trying to edit so that... Deleted "comment" from the URl...
                                    Yes, now it's actually working: the resulted URL has to be the same - that first time I got an error page...

                                      Checking if the "target" attribute works here:
                                      [this link is to a tiny image, and presumably should open in a new tab/window](http://www.listenlive.eu/wma.gif" target="_blank).
                                      Looks like it's working! 🆙

                                          Opera should have chosen a better forum software, not this crappy one, should have gone with IPB, mybb or phpbb.

                                          Cant do anything much here, just type and submit.

                                            Well you can do almost everything you would expect to be able to do, if you don't mind manually putting markdown code into your posts, but I agree it's far from ideal, and beyond the knowledge of many people, who must, like yourself, see this forum as being very crude and basic indeed.
                                            🙂
