In writing the readme.txt for my new plugin WP-ImageFlow2 the formatting of my information on the WordPress website was messed up. Instead of nice numbered lists and bullets, it came out as a big blog in a paragraph. Very difficult to read!

I searched the web and couldn’t find an explanation. I seemed to have followed the markdown instructions properly. By trial and error I managed to come up with a solution – I needed a blank line both before and after the list.

My original markup that displayed incorrectly:

This is some info
1. line1
2. line2
3. line3

This is more stuff
* stuff1
* stuff2
* stuff3

My new markup that worked:

This is some info

1. line1
2. line2
3. line3

This is more stuff

* stuff1
* stuff2
* stuff3

You learn something new every day!
