Description Glen Solsberry 2009-12-18 21:25:49 UTC 
The "normal" XML contents look like this

<list><list-item dir="ltr">List item
</list-item><list-item dir="ltr">List item
</list-item><list-item dir="ltr">List item
</list-item><list-item dir="ltr">List item</list-item></list>

However, if the XML looks like this

<list><list-item dir="ltr">List item</list-item>
<list-item dir="ltr">List item</list-item>
<list-item dir="ltr">List item</list-item>
<list-item dir="ltr">List item</list-item></list>

then Tomboy will print out the list entries left to right, instead of each on it's own line.  Screenshots can be provided if necessary.

This is probably by design, as you'll notice you can add new lines within a bulleted list by using shift+enter.

Nevertheless, this can probably be improved.

IMHO this looks like a valid case and I don't see any reasons for people to be worried about the way Tomboy stores this on the backend. If this is still relevant to anyone - please submit a new one (outlining reasons for anyone to care about the format would help a lot) at GitHub: https://github.com/tomboy-notes/tomboy/issues
