Hello, There is a problem with left aligned tables and bullet lists. The following wiki code results in a left-aligned table and surrounded by a bullet list, but the bullets overlap the table. {| align=left border="1pt" || Test |} * Bullet * Bullet * Bullet * Bullet * Bullet Is there a solution solving that? Maybe a patch for the style sheet? Thank you! Roland

New subject: [Mediawiki-l] Left aligned table and bullet list

I want to have the table left aligned, there is nothing wrong with the table. And the bullets shall surround the table. But I don't want to have the bullets overlapping the table, that's "wrong". I just don't know if this is a rendering problem of the browsers, or if it could be fixed within the CSS. I could add "margin-right: 1.5em;" to the style "table" in file \skins\monobook\main.css as a quick fix. But the margin is not needed (not wanted) with not left-aligned table.

Sorry, I can't figure out what you are trying to show me. I'm quite familiar with wiki table syntax. Two questions: FIRST: How does your browser show the bullet points (the points, not the text): 1.) not at all (you see only the text "bullet") 2.) in front of the table (overlapping the tables border) 3.) to the right of the table SECOND: What browser do you use?

I posted an example here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Sandbox In your example, the overlapping bullets happen because of this text: align=left I don't know why it doesn't work. Just, if you don't want the bullets to overlap the table, try one of the examples shown in the sandbox.

BTW, the same problem exists with left aligned images, e.g. [[Image:name.ext|left]]. The CSS definition for such images contains the "float:left" (as your suggestions does). IE and Firefox render it differently. Both left-align the text "Bullet", IE hides the bullet points behind the table, Firefox shows the bullet point (in front of the table). May that the skin definition has to be improved to overcome this issue. (In this case it is a topic for the developer mailing list. I know, I know...
