Issue with bullet points when used with floated left image

This appears to be a known Wiki bug but is also an issue with CSS.

Wrapping the bullets in a div styled with overflow:hidden; will overcome the issue but adds html to the Wiki markup.

Article Settings

Besides the content, an article has settings to manage publishing, how / where it will be displayed and who can see it when published. In many cases some of these will be left at their default setting:

• Select the Status: Published, Unpublished, Archived, or Trashed - the default is Published.

 • Select a Category using the drop down menu - this is a Required field. Note that although required, if you do not set it the article will still save but be set to the Joomla default category uncategorised. You can add a new category in this field by typing it in and pressing enter.

 •  Toggle the Featured setting on off, whether or not to display the article on the home page.

4. Select the Access level for the article: Public, Registered, Super Users, etc.

5. Select one or more Tags for your article. Start typing to find and select pre-defined tags or you can add a new one by typing it in and pressing enter.

6. You can add a Note which will be visible in the Article Manager.

7. You are also able to add a Version Note which will show in the version history for the article.

  • Click the Save toolbar button to save your changes. This will keep the article open. It is good practice to regularly save your work on longer articles.
  • Click the Save & Close toolbar button to save the article and take you to the Articles List. The Save & Close button has a further two drop-down options:
    • Click the Save to Menu toolbar button to add the article to a menu by opening a Menus: New Item page.
    • Click the Save & New toolbar button to save the article then open up an Articles: New page. This option saves time when adding multiple articles.
