Yeah, doing what amounts to screen-scraping in order to copy the posts from there to here doesn’t always, 'hem, capture all the nuances of the HTML formatting. Evidently some types of unordered lists fail in the same way as uses of the BR tag do.
I mean, I try to keep the formatting simple and clean to minimize the chances of this sort of thing happening, but ultimately, this is why I tell people to read from the actual site, belike. The copies here are only intended as an aide-memoire when commenting.
(Maybe I should switch the code to copy over “only an excerpt” just to hammer the point home…?)
