Topic: How should one make an unordered list in the rules in 1.2.*?

I used to have an <ul><li>.....</ul> in my rules in pre 1.2, as it's so much easier to see the rules that way ... but now in 1.2.x the ul is obv. used for layout instead, ... so how should I write my list in order to get a proper unordered list in the rules of my forum?

Edit: sigh wrong subforum, lol, I'm not awake yet as it seems wink

Give the <ul> an id e.g. <ul id="myrules"> then style the <ul> and<li> as you want. Actually I've just noticed the rules containing div doesn't have an id, it should have which would make this easier.

Moved to troubleshooting.

hmm... so I need to fiddle with all CSS files (or use inline styling) to get those little dots?
(if so I suggest adding an id in the CSS files from the beginning, like id="oldschool" wink)

ok, I've got the bullets to work on firefox with inline styling, but the bullets doesn't show in ie, what's missing?

<ul style="list-style-type: disc; margin-left: 12px">
  <li style="list-style-type: inherit">Rules</li>
  <li style="list-style-type: inherit">More rules</li>
  <li style="list-style-type: inherit">Even more</li>
  <li style="list-style-type: inherit">too many rules ;)</li>

Paul, you're the CSS master, heh, do you know what to add to be able to show the bullets in Internet Explorer? (they're working fine in FF)
