Lists In Posts Plugin

i have to use the list button for every line of a list on its own. if theres 6 lines in the list i have to use it 6 times. is there a plugin or a way to get a button to put 6 lines of text into a list like the button does on this forum

 

Not entirely sure what you mean, but it sounds like you want to code the button to add each line (recursively) to an array, then output the entire array. It's hard to tell from the description.

 

just with one button

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

 

Ahhhh, I think I've figured it out.

You mean you're typing a new post in WP and you have several items you want to put into a bulleted or numbered list, and you don't want to press the button for each one?

If so, just type them all, one per line, highlight them, THEN click the list button.

 

it doesnt do that. i hit list and it just gives me the text in the post, not a bulleted list

 

That's because you're in the text (HTML) editor. Switch to the Visual editor and it will figure out the list. It does smarter stuff like that, whereas the text editor is used for precision in situations where the Visual editor's assumptions are incorrect.

The text editor button is the "list item" HTML tag, whereas the Visual editor's button is "bulleted list" (i.e. "figure out this list for me").

 

alrite thanks. ive used the html forever and never even went into the visual
