Numbered List Converts to Bulleted List on Niche Site

   I have an article on Owlcation with a bulleted list. One of the bulleted points has a sublist which is numbered. When I save the article, the numbered list displays ok on the hubpages site, but on Owlcation, the list reverts to a a bulleted list. I've emailed the tam about this.

      Did you get a reply from the team, or find a way to fix it on your own? I just noticed one of my bulleted lists on Owlcation appears as separate lines rather than an actual bullet list, which makes the layout look awkward.

         Yes, Matt said they'll look into it.

            Hope they find a fix. Maybe it's just my browser like Glenn suggests.
            
            I'm using Chrome and don't see bullet lists. I've only used single lists though not double like yours.

               Cholee, are you saying your bulleted lists don't show the bullets on Chrome? That's another matter besides the issue with sublists.

                  On my Chromebook they do not. However, when I checked my phone tonight using Google Chrome & the Samsung browser the lists looked normal.
                  
                  Must be something with my laptop vs the actual Chrome browser since it works on my phone.

            Yes! This item is currently being investigated by our engineering team. Hopefully we'll have a fix soon.

               Hi Haley, thanks for the update.
               
               I just looked at the HTML code in Eugene's article. It's set up correctly. I downloaded it from his Dengarden article, the one that doesn't render properly. 
               
               The interesting thing is that the code is correct with the <OL> list within the last <LI> of the entire <UL> list. But on Maven the ordered list is rendering as a bulleted list. So it's clear that Maven is not rendering the code properly. It's ignoring the <OL> tag. Please pass this on to the engineering team. Hopefully that information will help.

   Could there be a bug in this? There's a fellow here whose name ends in 'bug'. I hope he does not mind?

   With the Maven video following the scroll down, how can you notice anything?

   I just checked one of my articles on Owlcation that has both a bulleted list and a numbered list. I tested this with Safari and Firefox and both lists display correctly on both browsers.
   
   Which browser were you using? Can you test with a different browser?

      Do you mean combined together? My list is a bullet list and one of the entries has a sub-list that's numbered. Here's a screen shot of it on the old platform. On the new platform, the numbers become bullet points.

         Thanks for clarifying that. I don't have any combined lists. That's probably why it works for me.
         
         I wonder if Maven can't handle combined lists properly since it works when you view the HubPages version. There still are some other things I've noticed that Maven never rendered properly, such as quote callouts. But that's another matter.
         
         Here's a suggestion: Edit the capsule and click the HTML option to examine the code. See if you find a problem that you can correct manually. (You probably tried that already. )

            No, I didn't try that, but usually that's what I end up doing. As an aside, the style of the bullets can be changed using the HTML tags that we're allowed use (to unfilled circles or squares.)

               I looked at it. See my reply to Haley above.
