I was creating a new FAQ entry today and to have nice formatting I attempted to use the Comcode list tag for the first time.  I like that you can have list elements span muliple lines.  Makes the output presentation much cleaner and readable.  I mimiced the example found in the Comcode Tutorial.

This is what I did:


And this is the outcome I got:

1.  
2. one
   and blank line
3. two
   and blank line

There should only be 2 entries but for some reason the list starts with an empty first slot, so I wind up with three.

To fix this, I did:



That seemed to work.

Not sure if this same behavior exhibits itself across the site, but this is what was happening when I used the list tag while creating a new FAQ entry.

Okay, thanks Chris.  I'll check out the hotfix and see if that addresses what I experienced.  Not a big deal as I was able to work around it, but wanted to share in case it hadn't been reported already.
