Sometimes I write tutorials about computer stuff. And sometimes I write lists in those tutorials.

The problem I was having with TYPO3 when doing this was that whenever I put a <code> tag inside of an ordered or unordered list, the <code> tag wasn’t properly translated on the frontend of the web site. The < and > brackets around the ‘code’ tag were run through htmlspecialcharacters and were showing up on the front end.

Luckily and after searching, I found a solution that allows me to put code tags in lists.

All I did was add the following to the typoscript template of my web site.

2. #########
3. ### This will allow code tag inside ul & ol
4. lib.parseFunc_RTE {
5. # Processing  <ol> and  <ul> blocks separately
6. //here you’ll need to list all tags, you assume to be external blocks
7. externalBlocks = ol, ul
8. externalBlocks {
10. ol.callRecursive=1
11. ol.stripNL=1
12. ol.stdWrap.parseFunc = < lib.parseFunc
14. ul.stripNL=1
15. ul.stdWrap.parseFunc = < lib.parseFunc
16. ul.stdWrap.parseFunc = < lib.parseFunc
17. }
18. }
