# Breaking: #63453 - Changed rendering of FlashMessagesViewHelper

See [forge#63453](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/63453)

## Description

The default (`renderMode="ul"`) rendering output of the `FlashMessagesViewHelper` has been changed.

By default the view helper rendered an unordered list, each list item containing one message.
This output has been adjusted and more markup has been added.

## Impact

You may see unexpected formatting of flash messages.

## Affected Installations

Any template using the `FlashMessagesViewHelper` unless the attribute `renderMode` is set to "div".
Be aware that the `renderMode` attribute has been deprecated.

## Migration

Add a custom rendering template for the flash messages, like outlined in the example, to obtain the same output
as before.

```html
<f:flashMessages as="flashMessages">
	<ul class="myFlashMessages">
		<f:for each="{flashMessages}" as="flashMessage">
			<li>{flashMessage.message}</li>
		</f:for>
	</ul>
</f:flashMessages>
```
