Bullet (unordered) sublists within number (ordered) lists are displayed incorrectly

Question

In my FrameMaker source, I've got the usual L1 Bullet List,
L2 Number List, L3 Bullet Sublist, L4 Number Sublist styles
defined. I've imported the source by reference into RoboHelp, and
I've mapped the FrameMaker styles via fmstyles.css to RoboHelp
styles. I've resolved almost all the style issues, but a nasty one
remains: Bullet sublists within number lists are not displayed
properly.
All the combinations of lists and sublists look fine in
FrameMaker. In the help (WebHelp) that RoboHelp produces, bullet
sublists within bullet lists are displayed as I would expect: The
sublists are indented and have a different bullet style (circles
rather than disks) relative to the "parent" list. Bullet sublists
within number lists, however, are displayed incorrectly. They are
indented too far (twice as far as I they should be), and they use
the wrong bullet style (circles rather than disks). No matter how
many times I use the style editor to try to convince RoboHelp to
display bullet sublists within number with the correct indentation
and bullet style, I get the same result. Has anyone every fought
this battle and won? If so, how did you do it?
Thanks!

Answer 1

I think you cannot mix bullet and numbered lists at different
levels during the import because RoboHelp makes one single list out
of the entire list/sublist order. I.e., after the import, all list
items are simple items in one list even though they belonged to
different list levels in the original document.
I did succeed in using bulleted sublists within normal bullet
lists. I created a second CSS style in the import dialog (with a
larger indention) and mapped it to the FM-style that resembles the
sublist items.But due to RH putting all items into one list, you
cannot mix different bullet styles. Most browsers will ignore this
and display a sinlge bullet style for all items in the list.
