I want this! Next step would be to combine with {{Transclude list item excerpt}} as {{Transclude list item excerpts as random slideshow}}, to make a really powerful automation tool to make a portal from an outline list. · · · Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 05:13, 25 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Losing list formatting

This template seems to be losing the formatting of bulleted lists. See example.

  Gas planning includes the following aspects:

  • Choice of breathing gases
  • Choice of scuba configuration
  • Estimation of gas required for the planned dive, including bottom gas, travel gas, and decompression gases, as appropriate to the profile.
  • Estimation of gas quantities for reasonably foreseeable contingencies. Under stress it is likely that a diver will increase breathing rate and decrease swimming speed. Both of these lead to a higher gas consumption during an emergency exit or ascent.
  • Choice of cylinders to carry the required gases. Each cylinder volume and working pressure must be sufficient to contain the required quantity of gas.
  • Calculation of the pressures for each of the gases in each of the cylinders to provide the required quantities.
  • Specifying the critical pressures of relevant gas mixtures for appropriate stages (waypoints) of the planned dive profile (gas matching).

The template {{Transclude lead excerpt}} seems to do it right. See example.

so the module is working. Cheers, · · · Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 12:07, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
