You need to STOP coming here solely to avoid "toil and trouble" and come, instead, to learn. - - for abusing the Monastery (again!) as a code-writing or code-editing service.

And, as you have been told several times, </br> is not a valid code here. PM doesn't use a full-spec html, xml, xhtm, or anything standard in user-written nodes. The acceptable markup can be found, profusely illustrated, in Markup in the Monastery; a briefer version is in Perl Monks Approved HTML tags .

When you want to make a bulleted list, use <ul><li>an item</li><li>next item</li><li>last</li></ol>; if you want your list numbered, use <ol> (li pairs, to taste) </ol> which will be much easier to read.

You'll also make your questions more readily readable (comprehensible) if you separate your ideas (topics) into paragraphs. Stream-of-consciousness narrative may be fine in fiction, but it really doesn't help you get help here.

Update: linked to wrong faq for "Approved HTML Tags;" now fixed.
