Marfa Theme Differences

[toddgrotenhuis]

I’ve noticed that the Marfa main page and post pages render some things differently. A couple ways, at least.

1. Lists show better on posts than on main page. E.g.:
   

   
   vs.
   

2. Spacing is different on main page than in posts. E.g.:
   

   
   vs.
   

Note: I am on vanilla Marfa, so surprised when these differences show up.

For example #2, these are posts that have come in from Hey World via IFTTT.

For #1, that’s a longstanding issue that I thought we had fixed but I guess not. This is what I have in my custom CSS if you want to paste it into Design → Edit CSS. Let me know if that fixes it and I’ll make sure we update the default theme.

article ol li {
	list-style-type: decimal;
}  

article ul li {
	list-style-type: disc;
}

.post-body ul li {
	list-style-type: disc !important;
}

Doesn’t appear to have helped. Does it matter if it is above or below the default data in the CSS?

I fixed #1 in this pull request.

I haven’t tired any of the suggested fixes yet, but on a Marfa install from plug-ins, the difference between lists display still exists.

ETA: FWIW, there must be an easier way, but this conformed lists.

#post-list article ol, #post-list article ul {
    margin-bottom: 1em;
    margin-top: 1em;
}
#post-list article ol li {
    list-style: inherit;
    list-style-type: decimal;
}
#post-list article ul li {
    list-style: inherit;
    list-style-type: disc;
}
.post-body ol, .post-body ul {
    margin-bottom: 1em;
    margin-top: 1em;
}
.post-body ol li, .post-body ul li {
    margin-bottom: 0;
    margin-top: 0;
    padding-bottom: 0;
}
.post-body li:last-child {
	margin-bottom: 0;
}

It appears #1 is now an issue with the Alpine theme, which was spun off from Marfa. It’s not showing bullets on the main post list.

I, too, am encountering the bullet list problem in the Alpine theme. Here’s a screenshot of my home page:

Here’s the actual post link:

I’ve seen the same problem with numbered lists–awkward on a post a couple of weeks ago where later in the body of the post, I referenced items in the list by number.

This seems to be working now. Thanks!
