Bullet style defined as "disc" in CSS is inserted as "circle"

We use RH9 with RSC. I've been wondering about this problem for a few weeks and maybe someone here has an idea why it's happening...
The bullet style is defined as "disc" in our CSS, yet when I insert a bulleted list (using the button on the RH toolbar), my bullets end up as "circle" style. I don't use any other formatting on the bullets (the HTML I get is just <ul style="circle"><li>blahblah</li</ul>). The weird thing is that's it's only happening for me. My coworker opened the same project and she's getting "disc" bullets correctly.
It's not a major problem, I just go in the HTML and fix the bullets manually, but it's really bugging me. Is there a global setting in RH (or Windows?) that I messed up? Did I somehow set "circle" bullets as my default and that's overwriting the CSS?

I am guessing this is not source control related but because of the way you have defined lists.
In older versions of Rh you could define a paragraph style as a list. Since Rh8 lists have to be defined as list styles but you can superimpose a paragraph style for characteristics such as as font size and colour for the text. See Lists on my site and the link to Upgrading.

  • Configure Numbered and Bulleted Styles in CSS

    I have searched and read a lot of postings re:Numbered and Bulleted styles/lists in the CSS setup and still have no clue how this was changed in the most recent build of RoboHelp HTML or the correct way to apply and get to work.
    In X5 of RoboHelp HTML, I had a CSS style sheet with 5 paragraph styles with bullets. I did not create a list - I simply bulleted the style. When I apply one of these styles to a paragraph it adds a bullet.
    I upgraded to RoboHelp HTML X8.0.2.208 and my bulleted styles are a total mess. The styles are still in the CSS, but when applied there is no bullet - it adds a number (then I have to click the Bullet icon button on the toolbar to apply a bullet). I have tried to find release notes or some documentation explaining the change and can find none. I have reviewed Peter Grange's site information about lists and multilevel lists, but see no reason why I cannot just apply a bullet directly on a style without using the list or multilevel list.
    I guess the issue may be my stupidity on the configuration and use of lists and multilevel lists. Is there any documentation from Adobe that outlines the change that occurred as of this most recent build? I am looking for an explanation of how a list corresponds to a style and how to get the style to work correctly. Ironically, the online help has been no help at all.
    As always, thanks to any feedback or direction.

    OK - sorry have not posted my solution and it works for me...
    This is what I did to create a single level bulleted style using bulleted list:
    (1) Create a MultiLevel List Style called BulletedList
    I have only defined Level 1 of the MultiLevel List
    For that Level 1 - I DID NOT specify a Paragraph Style
    For that Level 1 - I selected List Style of DISC
    For that Level 1 - I defined the Edit Style as <x>
    Saved this MultiLevel List style with a name of BulletedList
    (2) Created a Paragraph Style called NBullet
    Font is set to Arial 10pt
    Spacing/After is set to 6pt
    From Indents line - clicked the AutoNumber icon button
    This opens the List for Autonumbering dialog and I set the following:
    Checked the box for Inherit Numbering Property from Multilevel List
    Selected BulletedList from the List Class drop down
    Selected List Level as "1"
    Clicked OK to apply and return to Paragraph Style Setup dialog
    On Paragraph Style Setup dialog clicked the Format drop down button
    Selected Paragraph formatting
    Defined Left Indentation of .5in
    Defined Special Indentation of Hanging .25in
    (3) Clicked OK to save the Paragraph style called NBullet
    When I look at the drop down list of styles within a topic, the style name appears as "1 NBullet". Don't let the "1" fool you - when I apply that style the "disc" bullet is applied and NOT a number (it just displays a number in the style name for some reason that escapes me).
    I now have my bulleted style back and it works fine.
    NOTE:  I do not like to reformat anything, so I set up an NBullet (Spacing After set to 6pt), NBulletSpace (Spacing After set to 12pt) and NBulletLast (Spacing After set to 18pt).
    I also set up "bullet continuation" paragraph styles so I can lead with a bulleted line of text and then follow with "additional information" paragraph that aligns to the text in the bulleted lead paragraph line - that paragraph style is NBulletContinue defined with NO autonumber setup and the Format/Paragraph set to Indent/Left .75in (which aligns the text to the text of the bulleted paragraph).
    I set up the same paradigm of NBulletContinue, NBulletContinueSpace and NBulletContinueLast.
    =============
    Aside from the Style name appearing in the Style list when working in a topic as "1 NBullet", "1 NBulletSpace" and "1 NBulletLast" the formatting works and looks great (and note - the style name when I go into CSS formatting does not have the leading "1").
    Also note, if I use the Increase Indent option when working in a topic on the NBullet styled paragraph, the Level 2 bullet list format is applied. I HAVE NEVER and WILL NEVER use the Increase or Decrease Indent functionality (either in Word or RoboHTML).
    All of my CSS styles match the naming convention used in my Word template - making it easier to push content back and forth between Word and RoboHTML.
    =============
    My approach may be non-standard and may not be within the spirit of this functionality, but it works for me and I get the formatting I need.
    One last note on the comment of the "sluggishness of the product" for x8 - I had the same problem and then I applied the two patches that were made available. The difference in the response time was VERY noticeable in a GOOD way. Search for and apply both fixes to RoboHTML x8 and you will see a pronounced difference. I also got my boss to approve ordering a new PC and now there is not sluggishness at all in the performance.

  • Help with bullet style in external CSS

    I'm learning Dreamweaver after using Frontpage. I'm also kind
    of new with external stylesheets. And am stuck on formatting
    bullets. I can't seem to figure out the code for a bullet style and
    only find code for inline style sheets.
    More importantly, I can't create leading between the bullets.
    In FrontPage, I just set paragraph spacing before and after (for
    instance, 6 pt). Would it be margin-bottom? Anyway, here is the
    code I have, but when I apply it, no bullets appear.
    .bullet {
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    color: #000000;
    text-align: left;
    list-style-position: outside;
    list-style-type: disc;
    Thanks, Susan

    The CSS rule is the same whether it is use inline, in the
    <header> part
    of the document or an external stylesheet.
    In your CSS sample below, you defined a class with the proper
    declarations, but most likely you did not apply that class to
    your list
    in the HMTL.
    <ul class="bullet">
    <li>......
    If every list is styled the same way, you can simply
    (re)define the ul
    tag in your stylesheet.
    ul {font-family....}
    If you want leading between the bullets there are several
    different
    possibilities like applying padding, margin using line-height
    but in any
    case you have to apply it to the list items - <li>
    To go with your example, the CSS would be:
    .bullet li {padding: 6pt 0}
    Be careful with using pt as a measure on screen though.
    Although you are
    permitted to doing so, it is more advisable to use pixels or
    event
    better a relative measure such as em.

  • Set user defined bullet Style

      Dear All,
      In our project we are using BulltedList in TLF. We have  requirement to change the bullet style. Is there any way to change the bullet style by using an fxg . I am trying to create the List amrker formet by using the following code sniplet
                                       var lnkelement:ListElement = childElement as ListElement;
                                               var lstMarkerFormat:ListMarkerFormat = ListMarkerFormat.createListMarkerFormat(new bulletblue());
                                                  lnkelement.listMarkerFormat = lstMarkerFormat;
    In the above code the new bulletblue() is my fxg graphic , but it does't have any effect.
    Any help would be highely appreceated.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Gaurav

    TLF does not provide direct interface to replace list marker with your custom one till now.
    You can set style of marker as ListStyleType.NONE, and then take advantage of some formats in flashx.textLayout.formats.ListMarkerFormat to make it.

  • PDF Printing and CSS Media Style Sheets in OS X -- CSS @page ignored

    I'd like to author an XHTML document and specify precisely how it should be printed to pdf (margins/headers/footers/page breaks/etc.) using the CSS Media Style Sheet capability, i.e, CSS's @page rule.
    Apparently, Microsoft IE7 supports these page rules (http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/06/10/428149.aspx), but these do not yet appear to be supported in OS X's "Print to PDF" function (http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=PrintStylesheets).
    Is this true? Does anyone know how to access these CSS printing capabilities on a Mac?
    Furthermore, does anyone know how to get "Print to PDF" to maintain HTML hyperlinks in the PDF file?
    E.g., using OS X+Firefox, the following @page rule is ignored by the "Print to PDF" function on my Mac.

  • Muse keeps crashing when I expand the Bullet Styles panel

    Running Muse CC 2014.1.1.6, CL 785894 on OS X 10.9.5
    I have multiple Muse files for my website and one contains a bullet style. I copied text containing the style from one file to another. When I expanded the Bullet Styles panel, I received the following error prompt. Now whenever I expand that panel, it crashes every time.
    I can still go back to the Muse file containing the original bullet style and apply it freely. I tried a brand new Muse file and pasted a text box with the style applied. When I attempt to use the Bullet Styles panel again, I get the following error:
    The style I attempted to apply was "BulletList" { Level 1– color: GVblueWeb + size: 18.00 + bullet: [outlined circle] }
    The color I used is the same in both files. Not sure if it's related or conflicts, but I also have a paragraph style in each file called "bulletList" (from before Muse supported lists)
    Any suggestions?

    Please send us all the involved .muse files at [email protected] along with a link to this thread. If the files are larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc. (If you use Dropbox, please be certain to include your return e-mail address in the body of the message, since Dropbox does not include it in the sharing invite they send.)

  • I used to be able to burn photos onto a CD-R disc. Now I insert a new, blank disc and am told there is insufficient spac available for my selected year of photos. Even when reducing the date to ONE photo, I still get the same message. Confused.

    I used to be able to burn a selection of photos from my iPhoto library onto a CD-R disc. Today I inserted a new blank disc and was shown a message that there was insufficient space for my chosen year of photos. Even when I reduced the date to include only ONE photo!- the message was the same. I am at a loss as to why, and what to do. My iMac is about 7 years old and upgraded to Snow leopard. Any bright ideas?

    Camelot wrote:
    When burning a CD-R, the OS first creates a 'shadow' disk image that replicates what the CD will look like, then it copies that data to the CD-R itself. Therefore you need enough free space on your internal drive to create this temporary image. If your internal hard drive is full you won't be able to create the shadow, and that could be what you're seeing.
    If the OP's disk is too full to permit the creation of a 700MB disk image, it's a wonder that the computer is functioning.

  • Should I define tables in the CSS file or from the Table option on the menu bar?

    I am having trouble understanding which table definitions are the ascendant ones: the CSSfile table definitions or the definitions from the Table option on the menu bar. Is there a conflict if I am applying the CSS style to every topic? Who wins...CSS or Table?

    Hi there
    Sorry, but I think you are a bit confused. I'm assuming here that you are referring to defining tables via the toolbar? Where you use this button?
    That simply inserts the table structure which is later styled using CSS.
    Then there is the other option where you click Table > Insert > Table and you do two things. You insert the table structure as well as some special CSS codes that are added to your CSS file.

    Unless you know what you're doing with absolute positioning, avoid absolute positioning! Absolute positioning actually takes an element out of the normal HTML document flow and positions it absolutely in relationship with it's first parent with a position other than static - for details read the HTML specs at the W3C.
    Ideally you should use the normal HTML document flow. Divs are block level elements meaning that they act like blocks that take up a height (determined by children content) and width (the full width of the page or it's parent container, unless you tell it otherwise).
    For your CSS try this:
    #techlistcontainer {
        width: 75%;
        margin-top: 0;
        margin-right: 0;
        margin-bottom: 0;
        margin-left: 30;
        padding-top: 0;
        padding-right: 0;
        padding-bottom: 0;
        padding-left: 30;
    How does that work with your templates?

  • Style defined in page header works in FF but not IE

    FireFox 2.0.0.15
    Internet Explorer 6.0.2900
    ApEx 3.0.0.20
    I need to conditionally display data in red and with strike-through in a standard report (multi-column, multi-row); in effect some lines will be normal, some in red and strike-through.
    I declared a style in the page header
    <style type="text/css">
    st {font-size: 7.5pt; color: red; text-decoration: line-through}
    </style>
    and wrapped the data in <st> </st> tags in the select statement based on the condition.
    This works fine in firefox but not at all in internet explorer. Because the requirement is based on a condition, I must do this at select time.
    Anyone got any ideas? If you have I may also ask how to do it on a manually built tabular form (using apex_item).
    Richard

    Hi
    I would change your code to this (notice the . before st):
    [style type="text/css"]
    .st {font-size: 7.5pt; color: red; text-decoration: line-through}
    [style]
    In the select, use [span class="st"][span] (or any other suitable tag).
    I am surprised your method worked in FF, as "st" is not a standard tag AFAIK.

    NB: replace [] with &lt; &gt;

  • Bulleted Text in External XML w/CSS

    I have a TexatArea component which is loading text from an
    external XML file into a Flash 8 SWF. The text is being styled with
    a CSS (which is working fine in every other respect on this text
    (font, color, margins, etc.). I have created a custom .class in the
    CSS called <bulletText> and have assigned my text the bullet
    properties by taggeing those items in the XML with the
    <bulletText> tag.
    I am guessing one of two problems: (1) I am not using the
    right code in the CSS to make text appear with "bullets" or the
    TextArea component in Flash will not display CSS formatted XML?
    I created the CSS in GoLive CS2 and the Inspector in GoLive
    shows the bulleted example text to be correct based on my
    formatting of the CSS. Am I missing something?

    Hi
    You are calling the displayDates() at creationcomplete() of DateChooser. But at that time your xImages(xml) is null because it is not initialized and the HttpServices is not returned the result.
    So initialize your xml and call displayDates() after httpservices returns the result.
    Hope this helps

  • Is it possible to style a tag button with CSS?

    hello,
    i'm currently using button images for Add to Cart etc. but would prefer to use CSS.
    any idea how the html should look to facilitate this?
    atm if i change it from an image to text, i.e. {tag_addtocart,Add to Cart}, the CSS formatting is ignored and i'm left with just a standard grey button.
    regards and thanks.
    Frank

    For those out there that could use more details on styling the buy button ...
    This works because this CSS overrides the existing Business Catalyst CSS. If you don't already have a separate CCS file, create one - for example "custom.css", and place the link to the CSS isle in you page header.
    Here is the CSS example. The button I've already created for the website is .my-red-btn and I have simply added .productSubmitInput after it so it calls the same style (remember to add the comma if you are applying this style to more than one class name, as I have in this example).
    .my-red-btn, .productSubmitInput {
              color: #ffffff;
            font-weight: 600;
              background-color: #FF0000;
              -webkit-border-radius: 4px;
              -moz-border-radius: 4px;
              border-radius: 4px;
            border-radius: 4px;
    Then add the tag to the module (Site Manager > Modules template > Online Shop Layouts > Individual Large Products) like this:
    {tag_addtocart,Buy me now}
    Good luck.
