<li>
<p>I don't think you sent me the files you meant to. The text you sent<br>
has 12 top-level list items, but only 4 sublist items (where the last<br>
item appears to have some run-on items inside it??). Or perhaps the<br>
original file was improperly formatted, leading to an unexpected result<br>
when you ran the full cleanup command??</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Working with what you sent, everything seems to work properly,<br>
whether I select the whole document, part of outer list, part of inner list.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Toggling inner or outer list types works properly.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Perhaps you can verify the document you sent? And then verify you are<br>
using a recent version of Composer?</p>

<li>Is toggle list type suppose to toggle inner lists? when I select everything?<br></li>
<li>It looks like the "Cleanup List" messed up my formatting in my "cleanup before" ... so it probably doesn't make sense. I guess I didn't catch that. That's one of the bugs ... it did some kind of destructive operation and I lost that original text from the demo file. It was a correctly formatted bullet list, as far as I'm aware.</li>
</ol>
<p>I had copy/pasted an excerpt to play around with in my sample file. But I don't have the original in the same state any more to test it.</p>
<p>I created a video explaining my problem, I'm not sure how to reproduce it. It seems to be when I'm copy/pasting sections and moving/indenting and writing my articles. That I run into situations where I want to switch from bullets to numbers (or vice versa).</p>

multiple levels within a list, you have to do them separately. (I have<br>
to pick one way or the other, and either will be wrong for some<br>
purposes. But if sublists are automatically toggled, there is no way to<br>
just toggle the outer level. So this seems like the "least wrong" way<br>
to do it. I could theoretically add a "toggle lists and sublists"<br>
command, but at some point it just leads to a ridiculous UI like<br>
Microsoft Word...)</p>
<p>Obviously I can't know for sure without a time machine, but based on<br>
what I see in the original "before" text you sent, my suspicion is that<br>
you had incorrect syntax in the inner list items (for example, "7.." and<br>
"6.6,"). Those would not have been identified as list markers, and therefore would be rolled into the preceding paragraph (list item 5 in<br>
this case). Those would have been unlikely changes to have been created<br>
by the clean up code based on how it works.</p>
<p>The only thing I don't immediately understand is why those two areas do<br>
not have any whitespace in front of them (unless you copied from Word<br>
which sent non-Mac invisible characters or alternate line break<br>
characters, perhaps??)</p>
<p>If you see another problem with it, please Undo the changes and send me<br>
the original text before clean up so I can look to see what might have<br>
caused the problem.</p>

<p>I'll try and capture issues the next time I write an article. ... I just posted my blog post, thanks for the great Markdown tool!</p>

<p>Video: <a href="https://www.useloom.com/share/9a42b664b6904473b8f14806ff5e35c6">https://www.useloom.com/share/9a42b664b6904473b8f14806ff5e35c6</a></p>
<p>Actual: When I select and try to clean up this list, it destroys my content. I've created a before/after, and I'll include my current work in progress notes.</p>
<p>Expected: I should see the outer list re-numbered 1-11, but it deletes some of the text, and incorrectly numbers, and puts numbers on ends of lines.</p>
<p>It looks like the last 2 characters (3 characters with newline) are chopped, is this related to having a number in the lists?</p></div>Paul Solttag:support.multimarkdown.com,2013-02-12:Comment/454824772018-07-17T01:40:41Z2018-07-17T01:40:41ZCleanup Selected Lists (or Full Cleanup) Doesn't Work as Expected<div><p>Thanks for sending me the example. I <em>can</em> replicate the behavior this<br>
time.</p>
<p>I'll look into <em>why</em> as soon as I can -- had a family emergency pop up<br>
that has thrown my schedule for a loop. But deleting numbers inside the<br>
list items does not change the behavior, so that's not the problem.</p>
<p>Thanks again for the sample file!!</p>
