I have an editable blog content area for inputting text. When I format the text with styles and numbering/bullets, they do not show as styled when I view the output. All the formatted styles are stripped off:

Does anyone know the the problem could be

The last button in CKEditor's toolbar is 'Source'. Please click it to see the HTML behind your inputted content.
Copy and save it somewhere.

Next, go to the front-end page where the content is displayed (with the formatting lost, as you mentioned). Do a 'view-source' in your browser to see the HTML behind that page.

Find the block where the content from the CKEditor is being displayed. Compare it to the HTML you saved in the first step above.

The two should be almost 100% identical.
Is that so?

If yes, then the problem lies in the CSS styling you are using on the front-end. You'll have to use styles that display, for example, the <UL><LI> blocks properly.

If no, then there is a problem. Please let me know and we can take it forward from there.

Apparently it was a reset.css find that was causing the problem. Once I took it out everything worked perfectly
