Question

I've downloaded and installed the latest twiki version and have a small problem about the display of lists. The first item of an list has anywhere an extra space so that it look like:

*  first
* second

What is wrong here?

• TWiki version: the last, (where can I found this)
• Web server: Apache 1.3.22
• Server OS: FreeBSD 4.4
• Web browser: Konqueror 2.2.1
• Client OS: FreeBSD 4.4

Answer

Check the source of the generated HTML page to see if there is an extra space or  . TWiki does not do that, at least on Solaris and Linux servers.

The problem is the missing /li tag in the lists. It looks like Konqueror shows an space as it is. Place the /li tag after any item solves the problem. I have change the code of TWiki.pm like this:

s/^(\t+)(\*)(.*)/<li>$3<\/li>/o   && ( $result .= &emitCode( "ul", length $1 ) );
#s/^(\t+)\* /<li> /o              && ( $result .= &emitCode( "ul", length $1 ) );

This works for a "normal" list. If there are other tags in the list item like:

<li><br> %WikiVar% foo bar</br></li>

Konqueror display the space after br as it is so the list looks like shown above. But this maybe another problem.

Many thanks
