Own Theme (based on Starkers): No text formatting in WP possible (5 posts)

    hey,

    i just created a wordpress theme based on the naked theme "Starkers". After i finished the work i uploaded and activated it. All worked...but one.
    I recognized this problem, after i wrote the first post. I can't do any formatting to the text. For example when i want to create a list with

    <ol>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
    </ol>

    in WP-HTML editor i get no list in the post (when i switch after the input in the HTML editor to the visible mode in WP it's displayed there correctly).
    With other themes it's working.
    With the original "Starkers" theme it's also not working (the list isn't displayed).
    When i go to my page and look at my source code there stands the html code for the list

    <ol>
    <li>1</li>
    <li>2</li>
    </ol>

    ; but as said in the browser there's only 1 2 insead of 1.1 2.2

    Anybody an idea? When some code is needed pls ask me.

    greeting

    please post a link to your site for any problems with formatting.

    have you checked if starkers uses 'reset' styles?

    have you added styles for lists in your content are?

    No i've no styles for lists added yet.
    Yes Starkers uses "reset" styles.

    Would be nice if you could have a look.

    in reset.css:

    ol, ul, li { list-style:none }

    these remove the list styling;
    you need to add new styles into style.css of your theme;
    for general css instructions, see link in my earlier reply.
