Bullet Points in Handouts

I have this issue where usually bullet points in my handouts have no issues, but sometimes they all just break all at once and I don't know why they are breaking so its kinda hard to fix. It also isn't broken all the time as far as I can tell (The left and write pictures are both screen grabs from inside of roll20).  But *sometimes* it is just broken.  It isn't just me or just my computer, everyone in the campaign can see them broken and I don't know how to fix them at all or why they are sometimes broken and sometimes work.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi Gary! How are you producing the handout copy? That does not look like standard Roll20 styling.

Which I understand could cause some problems.  The issue that seems strange to me is that this handout has been used on the tabletop in the form of the second picture for months and then broke?  If I copied it into R20 and then it immediately broke, that makes sense. But having it work for months and then stop working seems strange.
It seems to me it tries to load an image instead of the Bulletpoints... and since this is not present, maybe you want to start looking there? Other than that, try using the "normal" Bullet Points from the Editor and see if that works for you. Gary M said: keithcurtis said: Hi Gary! How are you producing the handout copy?

Hmm. Could be tricky to diagnose and fix. Pasted formatted HTML always has the chance of conflict with built-in style sheets or leftover formatting characters. I can only offer some generalized tips, like always start with a clean, empty handout when pasting. Can I ask why you are copying and pasting at all, rather than just dragging in the handout directly from the compendium? That's usually much safer. As for why this suddenly broke. Assuming no one opened it and tried to edit in the meantime (do your players have edit access?), have you moved the game to Jumpgate perhaps?

I have not moved the game to jumpgate and nobody but me has edit access.  Also every handout that we have been using for years looked identical and they all broke at the same time together.
Check the HTML Code for image-links and verify those are still there and weren't moved... The Screenshot provided indicates a lot of broken images... Next thing to check would be the HTML Code itself... Gary M said: keithcurtis said: Hmm. Could be tricky to diagnose and fix.
