Has anybody ever managed to get the list command to work? If so what exactly does it do?

I'm after a way of posting a table in a phpBB forum post

Thanks

You mean something like this:

Quote:

1. Go to the shops
2. Buy a new computer
3. Swear at computer when it crashes
   

It works fine on the phpBB forum I run. Replace the <>'s with square brackets:

<list=1>
<*>Go to the shops
<*>Buy a new computer
<*>Swear at computer when it crashes
</list>

Get rid of the =1 in the list statement to just have bullets, and replace the 1 with an a to get a, b, c rather than 1, 2, 3

Brilliant, thanks. Always wondered how it works.

Don't suppose you know of a way to create multi column lists do you? (like a table)

I don't think you can

The only way is to do it in monospaced ASCII and surround it with CODE tags.

That's an idea. Thanks Tony
