I lack one thing of having the UBB forum files completely XHTML 1.0 transitional compliant - lists. And I've got most of that done except for getting this error :: "Error: text is not allowed here; try wrapping the text in a more descriptive container" when validating my test page here :: https://ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=000184 Any idea how we can handle this last little bit of code? I finished quotes, code, and most of lists, just don't know what text wrapper it wants for the li parts of lists. Get this one done and I can make that mhp and move the mod to finished status

Allen, I don't think needs a closing tag
Also, [code][/code] doesn't have its code font, I think I told you how to fix it a long time ago in a Chit Chat thread.

does need a closing tag. The way it works is that you do the unordered list , each list item - , some text, close the item tag
, and then close the list tag .
Allen, in the page you linked to, the closed itself, which isn't right, because it actually does have an end tag. You have
code:
when it should be
code:
list item text

Matt, http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubbdev.com%2Fubbcgi%2Fultimatebb.cgi%3Fubb%3Dget_topic%3Bf%3D5%3Bt%3D000184&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline (ignore the errors, just the validation page itself) doesn't have in the end of every list item... ie. code:
Line 505, column 35:
... </font><ul type="square"><li></li> this is a list<li></li> t ...
^
Error: text is not allowed here; try wrapping the text in a more descriptive container
Allen, [code] needs IMO, because otherwise it won't keep spaces/tabs.

LK, I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. On line 505, the list isn't being done properly. Allen, for the list, each separate list item needs to be enclosed with the tags. Having the text and then is to go around in a circle, but if I understand correctly, that's what we're trying to fix here?

Matt, not the error, I mean validator.w3.org ITSELF
They also have a list, but they don't have
My example had in the beginning but nothing in the end.

yes, you are both correct LK, I added the pre to code and it's ok. Lists aren't validating because I don't know what I am doing... I need the text on each list line inside and the line in ubb_lib for lists is now back to: $_[0] =~ s/n?r?([*])/ /isg;
and the line in lib_posting for when you wanna edit is now back to:
$_[0] =~ s//[*]/isg;
which works fine, but doesn't close each line's text properly to validate.

would font tags closing before and opening after each li improve that? And I think MJ's point is that every tag must be closed in its proper nesting to validate.

I see what you mean about w3's validation page... it doesn't close the li tags either, but they only validate to html 4.01 - talk about loo-hoo-hoo-zers...

About the tags, it'd at least make the source easier to work with, so that's worth something, I guess.  And yeah, in order to get code to validate, especially XHTML, each tag has to have a closing tag and be properly nested. "Close them in reverse order of which you started them" is a good rule to remember when writing code.

Right, which is way more lenient on things than XHTML.

that does validate LK, but adds an extra bullet to the top of the list https://ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=000184#000008 arrrggghhhh...

A cheesy way to work around that might be to make the first line in the list say
[*] List:
but that wouldn't look right ina lotta lists.

[ *]Second item
[ *]Third Item
...
[/list]

What's your code?
Also, you can require [list whatever](.*?)[ *] or something like that, or just require [/*]...

By jove, I think I've got it  ubb_lib is this: $_[0] =~ s/n?r?([*])(.+?)([/*])/ $2/isg; and lib_posting is this: $_[0] =~ s/( )(.+?)()/[*]$2[/*]/isg; It creates lists correctly and validates... This works if you aren't making a full list [*] test

Posting practices have to change to close the [ *] tag now with a [ /*] tag (no spaces)

I'm all for better ideas This goes in ubb_lib, what about lib_posting where it is supposed to convert html back to ubb code?

Actually it won't work with your old code, but you can try:
$_[0] =~ s/( )(.+?)()/[*]$2/isg;
All others are like the original UBB's ones...

Done! This is what I had to do to get font tags in there too so it would validate: ubb_lib I should probably finish the font stuff for the ol, but this works and validates Thanks LK, and thanks MJ!

you gotta close the font tags before starting the list and re-open them after the list is done...

Click that validate link Bay-Bay! Except for the ad code (can't do anything about it) every page produced from here on out should validate.

We don't have to worry about that because all the lists generated by the UBB are unordered lists .
