[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1259952, member: 141969"] I want to use a bullet list within a list item of an outer bullet list. Some problems: (1) I cannot discover how to do this within the rich-text editor. Is it possible? (2) I switched to the plain text editor and coded the xml tags directly (I spent 25 years coding GML tags in design documents, so I am well accustomed to doing this!). That works, sort of o_O. The inner bullet list is correctly formatted, but the xml processor uses the same bullet symbol as the outer list (a solid disk). It should use a different bullet symbol (such as a circle). (3) I tried specifying the bullet symbol on the UL tag, but the editor discarded it when I applied the changes. I tried this: <ul list-style-type="circle"> This is shown as an example in a page illustrating xml markup somewhere on the internet, but there seem to be so many xml variants these days that it is difficult to know whether "list-style-type" is the correct name for the attribute, or whether "circle" is a valid value. Anyway, I should not have to specify the bullet symbol manually for nested lists -- the xml processor should automatically choose a different symbol for each level of nesting. So, how do I get this to work correctly? Thank you. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
