I am working on a project in RoboHelp. I worked in RoboHelp years ago,
and am coming to it with a fuzzy memory.
When creating online Help (Flash Help, specifically), the numbered and
bulleted lists are driving me crazy.
The default for the lists is to have the indentation looking something
like this:
1. text text text
a. tetext text text
b. text text text
2. text text text
a. text text text
etc.
What I WANT is as follows:
1. text text text
a. tetext text text
b. text text text
2. text text text
a. text text text
etc.
The same for bulleted lists... and then comes the complexity, I want
things lined up properly if I mix my lists with <ol> and <ul> and I want
there to be indented text that has NO bullets, if there should not be a
bullet.
I am very used to working in Word and creating styles for everything, so
that I can have this.
When working in native HTML - how do I get the same visual results?
I am sure the answer is in the .CSS, but I have been searching for an
answer and obviously don't have the right keywords, to find it.
Thanks in advance,
