Does not render bulleted lists properly

[jmoronat]

Steps made:

• created a new note

• saved and closed it

• started sync

• reopened the note

  

Using latest version from Launchpad PPA.

Confirm. The same for me :( Annoying one, I like bullets ;)

+1. I've also noted that the bullet points structure gets corrupted as soon as the note is visualised, e.g. if it was originally edited using the web version of Evernote. There is no need to edit or saving to break the bullet point list.

+1, I'd like to try to tackle this if anyone made any investigations into this before?

When such a note is created, the generated html is

<ul></ul>
<ul>
<li>note1<br /></li>
<ul><li>   note1-1  </li><li>   note1-2</li></ul>
<li>note2</li>
<li>note3</li>
<ul><li>note3-1</li><li>note3-2</li></ul>
<li>note4</li>
</ul>

The Evernote is not able to parse this. If we create the same using evernote web client, the generated html is

<ul></ul>
<ul>
<li>note1<br />
     <ul><li>   note1-1  </li><li>   note1-2</li></ul>
</li>
<li>note2</li>
<li>note3
    <ul><li>note3-1</li><li>note3-2</li></ul>
</li>
<li>note4</li>
</ul>

From the above html, i observe that
In case of unordered list within an unordered list, the sublist should be within the

tag. If not, evernote will not be able to parse and display rightly. So it sends back the its own "corrected" version.

@ageekymonk
Glad to see someone else who is also looking into this.

From what I've observed, Evernote sometimes use "list-style-type:none" to suppress the leading marker. Locating the anchor node is another nasty problem that involves a lot of subtlety. I feel that this whole list thing is poorly defined in HTML.

What you have observed is absolutely correct and account for the major source of bug in Everpad. However, the real issue is actually much more complicated I'm afraid. Even the native client still got a lot of bugs on bulleted lists.
