Find a solution for the conflict between bulleted/numbered list and floating object

  • Problem: A known CSS problem. If an image (or another floating object) is inserted left from the bulleted/numbered list, the indentation is screwed. The bullets/numbers are pushed out before the text block, too close to the image (floating object).
  • Who would benefit: Every reader.
  • Proposed solution: At least find a better workaround than the below mentioned template.
  • More comments: The English Wikipedia created en:Template:Flowlist which can be used to circumvent the problem, but the solution is far from ideal, because it has unwanted side effects, especially for the longer lists.

Discussion[edit]

  • I've looked at this problem a few times (and contributed in the discussion that came up with the flowlist template), and it doesn't seem like HTML/CSS has a way to fix this. There's list-style-position inside, but that would significantly change rendering of multiline items, in undesirable ways. But always good to have another set of eyes double check that. —TheDJ (talkcontribs) 15:49, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
