tinyMCE and nested lists

Permalink
Hi,

I was just editting a page and added a unordered list with some nested lists. Because I wanted to do some jQuery stuff (clicking on the LI should show the nested UL) I ran into a problem with tinyMCE and some invalid markup (is it?).

Wat I want to create is like this:

<ul>
    <li>Test 1
        <ul>
            <li>Test 1.1</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Test 2</li>
</ul>


The result tinyMCE gives me is like this:

<ul>
    <li>Test 1</li>
    <ul>
        <li>Test 1.1</li>
    </ul>
    <li>Test 2</li>
</ul>

Is this some setting of tinyMCE that will correct the markup? Or is the generated by tinyMCE the desired one?

Personally I don't trust the mark up that tinymce generates. It seems to have a mind of its own. I can tolerate it when all I am concerned with is screen appearance, but its a disaster in waiting if any JavaScript depends on an exact and consistent mark up structure.

For anything more than trivial I would go for the security of knowing exactly what you are getting with an html block.

Old topic but it still seems to be valid.

According to this page:

you can fix that if you enable the "list" plugin. Luckily we can specify a custom configuration in concrete5 which should make this an easy task.
