# Rendering Priority Conflict: Hyphenated Lists Override `<abbr>` Tag Functionality in Preview Mode

Steps to reproduce

When creating content with the tag where the ‘title’ attribute contains a list using hyphens (‘-’), the abbreviation does not display correctly in Preview mode (Preview mode being the opposite of Edit mode).

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N] => Y

Expected result

I would like lists that use hyphens (‘-’) to be recognized as subordinate elements of the abbr tag.

Actual result

The list is evaluated with higher priority than the abbreviation tag.


Additional information

By “Preview” it sounds like you mean “Reading View”? The terms are listed here: https://help.obsidian.md/edit-and-read#Editor+views.

Could you please paste the text shown in your screenshot into a code block here so we can see and copy the source text? https://help.obsidian.md/syntax#Code+blocks

Are you trying to add a list with new lines within an <abbr> element? That is not legal html structure, and it shouldn’t produce anything sensisble anywhere.

If that’s not the syntax you’re attempting to achieve, please provide some textual examples on what you write, and what you’d want it to display. And enclose all those examples between lines of four backticks to preserve formatting:

````
- <abbr title="... ">
- ???
````

If you give us actual text, we can also try to resemble your output and figure out better ways to do this. Using only images, makes us need to guess/re-iterate what you’ve written.
