Redhat EL4 WS
Drupal 5.3
Firefox 2.0.0.11

The following is actually nested inside a larger ordered list.

Each segment will contain,

  <ul>
  <li> UGC line, and date time stamp </li>
  <li> The Phrase, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN GLASGOW HAS ISSUED A</li>
  <li> Bullets that include</li>
  </ul>

    <ol>
    <li> The type of advisory, the hydrologic condition, and area affected area.</li>
    <li> The time the warning ends.</li>
    <li> Basis for the warning</li>
    </ol>

  <ul>
  <li> Call to action statement</li>
  <li> Latitude/longitude coordinates that define the warning area.</li> 
  </ul>

When it displays as a page in Firefox, it looks like;

Each segment will contain,

    o UGC line, and date time stamp
    o The Phrase, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN GLASGOW HAS ISSUED A
    o Bullets that include
         o The type of advisory, the hydrologic condition, and area affected area.
         o The time the warning ends.
         o Basis for the warning
     o Call to action statement
     o Latitude/longitude coordinates that define the warning area.

(nesting is correctly indented, but all the 'bullets' show up as empty circles instead of circles with nested numbers.)

The weird part is that if I cut and past from the Drupal page to an external text editor window, it is formatted correctly. So now I'm in a bit of a quandary, is this a problem with Drupal rendering nested lists, or Firefox?

Another thing is that it seems to properly format in this message, so maybe it is just a matter of waiting for Redhat RPMs to catch up with where the main site is now.

I just came across your post while trying to find out what I was doing wrong with my drupal page. Maybe nothing?! This might be a drupal bug. I'm getting exactly the same thing that you describe with Drupal 5.7. I'm using Safari at the moment. It might not be browser specific.

This issue occurred in Drupal 6 as well. The bug seems like to be inherited from Drupal 5.

This seems to happen when you try to use ordered list and unordered list in the same article.

Not to mention, this bug was apparent in the HTML guide itself.

I don't know what Drupal version this site is using but assuming I test it here if its still not fixed:

  • List a
  • List b
  1. List 1
  2. List 2

Edit: did a preview and it is corrected in Drupal.org site.

Level09 gave a solution to this by altering the file style.css of individual themes by changing:
list-style-type: none;

to

list-style-type: decimal;

The file can be found in theme
/style.css

Considering the lack of activity on this issue and that Drupal v5 is no longer supported by fixes or patches, I am going to close this ticket.
