Floating images mess up bullet lists

When I place a floating object to the left of bulleted or numbered text, the bullet indentations fall apart. See attached image of a bulleted list. How does this get fixed? What is a work around?
Thnak you, Shawn

It isn't the only DTP program to get this wrong.
You'll have to manually set the left margin in for the bulletted text to the right. So whatever the width of the image make the left indent a little more.

Floating images with an unordered list

I am having a problem trying to find the proper way to float an image to the left of an unordered list. In different browers it responds differently - the image will sometimes find it's way between the bullets and the text rather than having the bullets and text wrap around the right side of the image. I have changed margins to try to push the bullets as far out as possible. I've dragged the image to the end of of a line thinking that it will automatically float left of the bullets (of course I am using the .fltlft class). But the positioning is not consistent in any browser.

Thak Marksey and Nancy, but I am still having issues. I tried the container solution. I altered the source code to this (the bold is what I altered): (again, this is just one of the lists)
<p><a name="service" id="service"></a><strong>REGULAR OR SPECIAL SERVICE MUSIC EXPECTATIONS</strong></p>
<div style="fltlft">
<img src="saxophone.jpg" alt="sax" width="227" height="170" class="fltlft" />
</div>
    <ul>
      <li>Martha will work with the Director of Music to determine the overall service needs, from the theme of the service to particular musical requirements</li>
      <li>Martha will rehearse the choir and/or other musicians ahead of the service</li>
      <li>Martha will meet with the Liturgist and/or Pastor ahead of the service to coordinate any special requirements</li>
      <li>Martha and Dana will provide a prelude, a postlude, an offertory, gifts of music (special music), hymn accompaniment, liturgical music, incidental background music and accompaniment for any special music</li>
      <li>Martha and Dana will play for special services, such as Baptisms, Lessons and Carols, Candlelight Services, Christmas Eve, Lent, Capital Campaign Kickoff, Rally Day</li>
    </ul>
    <p class="clearfloat"/>
In firefox and and chrome it looks fine. But in Internet Explorer, the bullets in the list disappear. Internet explorer created most of the original problem. Before I made this change, the image appeared between the bullets and the text in IE.
I do have an external css attached to this page which has the .fltlft class which I applied to the images. But before I had not addressed the .clearfloat issue (which I also am not sure if I applied correctly).
What am I doing wrong????

Xml import with bullet list like images

Hi!
I have a xml file with data that i would like to import to indesign. ANd that works great.
But i have a minor issue. I have a kind of a bullet list something like this:
my xml looks like this:
<mytext>
1 some text
2 some text
3 some text
<mytext/>
the bullets is pictures (or perhaps numberd bullets if its possible to style them in my XML)
is there any solution to make this possible?
<mytext>
[include my 1 image here] some text
[include my 2 image here] some text
[include my 3 image here] some text
<mytext/>
I have tried to use CDATA in my xml file and included the path for my images, but the result is that "<image src..." is written as text not as a image..
PLS help me, before i go nuts!
/MK

Your XML is going to need to be formatted something like this:
<image href="file:///../images/bullet.png"></image>
<BulletText>Some text here...</BulletText>
In order to get the images in. The above has the images in a sub-folder of the ID document. There is also a tab between the close image tag and the BulletText tag (which is why I included the screen shot.

The bullet list, numbered list and the normal text is not converting when I am converting from RH 9 to MS Word 2010

Hi all,
Greetings for the day
I am created a new CSS in Robohelp 9. I have also created a new template in Word 2010. The style sets for different information elements like (Heading, bullets, body text, ) are more or less same between the CSS and the new templates. I am also able to map the .css styles to Word template when I am converting from RH to Word as I am getting the necessary option in the drop-down list.
However, when the output is generated, the bullet, the numbered list and the body text is not converting at all. The body text works sometimes. However, the numbered list and bullet list is coming out as images.
If anybody knows the solution, I can share the .css and Word template.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Parag Deb

Create a new project with two or three topics containing lists of both types. Generate a printed output that shows the problem. Then zip it up and send it to me. See the Contact page on my site for instructions.

How to create multi-level style pulling in a .jpg image as a bullet?

From within RoboHelp 8 HTML, when creating/editing a 3-tier multi-level style, I want to use a .jpg image for the bullet(s). I can not find a way to point to the image while in Edit mode. My only choices are predefined bullets for the List Style.
When searching for an answer within the forum, I noticed mention of a Baggage folder in RoboHelp. I do not have a Baggage folder. I do have links to websites accessible from within the web-based Help file I've created beneath the URLs folder in the Project Manager.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi there
I never really played much with adding images to the oddly formatted Multi-list styles.
The Project Manager has two views. Sounds like you are using the new "global" view. In that view you don't see a special area labeled Baggage Files. In this view the files are simply listed among the other content. If you change the view to Classic (I think it's the first icon on the left of the pod toolbar) you will then see the Baggage Files folder.
Cheers... Rick

How can I Create a multilevel bulleted list in RH HTML 7?

Hi!
I'm trying to create a multilevel bulleted list in RH 7 (HTML) but keep messing it up. I can change the bullets and use some from the gallery, but when I indent to create a second level, bullets are the same. If I change bullets style, I change the whole set up. Do I have to manually create a bulleted sublevel amd apply it manually everytime?
By looking at the available menu in the Styles window, nothing seems to guide me towars automatically creating different levels. Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help.

EDIT
Oh, dopey me! Peter just reminded me, offline, that this feature wasn't even in RH 7. Duhhh...guess I just blew by that little qualifier.
So, the revised answer is: you couldn't in RH 7, and you still can't in RH 8.
That feature is not working properly. Please submit a bug report to Adobe; the more they hear from us the better.
Good luck,
Leon

My bulleted list displays correctly in IE 8 and Firefox, but not in IE 7

I have a simple bulleted list in a right floated sidebar for a website. If views fine in IE 8 and Firefox, but not in IE 7 (and perhaps earlier, though I only have access to machines with IE 7 and 8.
Because the default indent for the bulleted list moves it too far to the right, I set a negative margin for that area of text in order to move it to the left a little. While it looks great in IE 8 and Firefox, it appears this margin setting is causing the bulleted list to shift too far to the left in at least IE 7. The rest of the copy in the sidebar div lookes fine including the title and paragraph copy.
Can anyone suggest a fix?
Also, I noticed the spacing above the main content div is smaller in IE 7 than with the IE 8 and Firefox. This div has a h1 heading followed by paragraphs. (This site was developed using a pre-existing CSS style sheet from Dreamweaver by the way.)

Strangely when I replied via e-mail my message got garbled when I looked at it here.
I was able to move over the bullet items to the left using your suggestion, however it now shows this line of copy above the page at the top of the window in the IE browser (both IE 7 and IE 8):

<title>Home Page</title>

<link href="../css/twoColFixRtHdr.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<style type="text/css">

Bulleted List within a Grid Panel

Hi,
I'm trying to format an HTML page, using the Grid Panel component to arrange various text and images.
In one of the text sections I need a bulledted list, but can't seem to find a way to do that, within the Grid Panel.
I need this page to be a JSP page, as it is going to be dynamic.
All help/advice would be appreciated.
Regards
Haroon

Hi Haroon,
Please go through the below jsp code to get a bulleted list in a grid panel

How to make an editable bulleted list with multiple lines and custom bullets?

How do I create an editable bulleted list in Acrobat Pro? I've figured out how to add text fields with multiple lines, and how to add a list box, but I don't see the check box for multiple lines in the list box or how to add bullet points. Can someone please give me step by step instructions? Also is it possible to use custom bullet points?

Is it a text field or a list box field? The two are not the same...
The bullets are something that the user will have to enter manually (into a text field, they can only select values in a list-box).
They can use any unicode character, or special characters if the font used for that field allows for it. You can't use images for the bullets, if that's what you mean.

Implementing bullet list in JTextPane

I found an example here:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=4&thread=162662
.. which describes how to create a TextAction for implementing bullet lists with a HTMLEditorKit.
The problem is that I use StyledEditorKit.
Anyone know how to implement a "StyledEditorKit.BulletAction" ?

It amazes me though that this is something that has to be done from scratch ...
Me too!
But it's not too bad, this is how I did it:
1) Add a unicode prefix to represent the bullet:
     if (type.startsWith("CIRCLE"))     liType="\u25CB";
     else if (type.startsWith("DISC"))     liType="\u25CF";
     else if (type.startsWith("SQUARE")) liType="\u25A0";
     doc.insertString(doc.getLength(),liType+" "+liText,null);2) use the FontMetrics to set the outdent:
     FontMetrics     fontmetrics=getFontMetrics(font);
     FLOAT=fontmetrics.stringWidth(doc.getText(start,2));
     StyleConstants.setLeftIndent(aset,50f*listLevel-(listLevel-1)*FLOAT);
     StyleConstants.setFirstLineIndent(aset,-FLOAT);You can see the end-product [url http://home.comcast.net/~viravan/f7.htm]here

Insert a bullet character between your text.

How can I get bulleted lists to look right in IE?

No matter what I try, I can't get bulleted lists to display in Internet Explorer. On the Mac, only Safari displays them the way they look in iWeb. Firefox has problems.
in IE:
- text indents don't work after the first line
- only round text bullets work (others like checks display as boxes)
- iWeb image bullets work sometimes
Any ideas. Getting tired of ugly indent and uneven lines, and of hand breaking each bullet
Help please!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Well, I'm afraid that you have encountered one of iWeb's shortcomings here. Here is a page detailing this bullet problem...
http://web.mac.com/nik.vale/iWeb/Home/My%20Blog/423143F9-13C0-49ED-9E8E-D1BCB474 46F0.html
I have seen other reports about how this results from the particular way that iWeb codes these bulleted lists. Hopefully this will be corrected in the future.

Bullets & lists (Korean)

When I try to add an additional item in Korean in the "Bullets & Lists", the bullet symbol disappears.
Is there any possible solution for this problem?

If you put the cursor in a text box, you have those options; they represent a kind of formatting that isn't available in a cell of a table.
You can type a bullet into a cell manually, of course.

Bullets & Lists disabled

Does anyone know how to enable Bullets & Lists in Numbers 3.1? When I go to the "Inspector", i.e., Format --> Text, all the control components within the Bullets and Lists section are disabled (i.e., grayed-out). Does anyone know a way to enable them?
-Thanks
