Multilevel lists in indented text

Hello everybody,
I am using RoboHelp HTML 11 and I have a question regarding the use of multilevel lists in indented text.
The main text in my topics is indented by 122.7px in order to leave enough space for text boxes that summarize the main text parts in the left margin.
Now I want to create a multilevel list style so that I can use these lists in the indented main text. Therefore, I created a paragraph style "List_Style" which includes the indention of the main text (122.7px). Then I created a new multilevel list style in which each list level is based on the "List_Style" paragraph style. In my understanding the indention should be adopted from the "List_Style" style but unfortunately it doesn't. Can anybody please tell me why and what I have to do to make this work?
Best,
Mr. Fox
PS: My output will be HTML5 Responsive Layout and Printed Documentation and I created all styles I am using in RoboHelp.

Thank you very much for your reply amerilinguistics.
Peter's site is excellent, I've studied it before but unfortunately I could not figure out what my problem is.
I will try to describe it as detailed as possible:
The paragraph style of my main text "MyMainText" has the following properties:
p.MyMainText {
 font-size: 9pt;
 margin-bottom: 6pt;
 line-height: 150%;
 text-align: justify;
 font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
 margin-top: 0pt;
 text-indent: 0px;
 margin-left: 122.7pt;
I have copied the "MyMainText" paragraph style and named it "List_style". Consequently it has the same properties as "MyMainText" (I just wanted to be able to play around, that is why I created "List_style"). My multilevel lists should be based on "List_Style" so that they align properly with the main text and the margin of 122.7pt is kept.
Then I created a new multilevel list "MyBulletList":
rh-list.MyBulletList {
 x-level-count: 3;
 x-lvl-1-type: MyList_Level1;
 x-lvl-1-format: "<x>";
 x-lvl-1-margin: 20px;
 x-lvl-1-text-indent: -20px;
 x-lvl-1-p-class: List_Style;
 x-lvl-1-p-tag: p;
 x-lvl-2-type: MyList_Level2and3;
 x-lvl-2-format: "<x>";
 x-lvl-2-margin: 40px;
 x-lvl-2-text-indent: -20px;
 x-lvl-2-p-class: List_Style;
 x-lvl-2-p-tag: p;
 x-lvl-3-type: MyList_Level2and3;
 x-lvl-3-format: "<x>";
 x-lvl-3-margin: 60px;
 x-lvl-3-text-indent: -20px;
 x-lvl-3-p-class: List_Style;
 x-lvl-3-p-tag: p;
I now go back to my main text and hit ENTER to insert a multilevel list. Therefore, I click the Insert Multilevel list button and select my "MyBulletList".
Result: The bullet appears in the margin that should be kept blank even though it is actually part of my "List_Style".
My questions are:
Why are the list levels not based on the paragraph style "List_Style" and its set margin of 122.7pt?
What can I do to make the lists work (HTML5 Responsive Layout and Printed Documentation)?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Multilevel list with combined roman letters and numbers

I'm trying to format my headings in a multi-level list style like this:
Chapter I: heading1
I.1 subheading1
I.2 subheading2
I.3 subheading3
Chapter II: heading2
the problem is that indesign's multilevel list seem to support only one kind of numbering system. I can either use numbers or letters. But how can I combine both? Even word has that feature so Indesign should also have it, right? Can anybody help?

There was a similar thread yesterday. It's not entirely clear if this is a bug (I think it is) or a feature since underlines are a character adornment, and automatic numbers are not recognized as characters in the same way as typed text, but the fact remains that underline and strikethrough don't work on numbers and bullets generated in a list.
You have a couple of options. One is to use a paragraph rule and set a huge right indent, but this doesn't work too well for multi-digit numbers, nor do I think that it works all that well with letters in a proportional font.
A second option would be to find a font with the circles or squares built into the characters and use it as part of a character style applied to the numbers. I think this is the best solution, but it may not give you the colors that you want if you need solid digits on a colored background.
A third option might be to use an anchored object positioned behind the numbers. This has the most flexibility, I think.

ADF Faces - indenting text in table column.

Is there a way to indent text in an ADF Faces coreColumn component? I'm trying to represent a recursive tree structure in a CoreTable. I've tried inserting object spacers depending on the depth of each node in the tree, but Faces then wraps the text after the spacers, even when I specify no wrap for the column.
Better yet, is there a way I could do this with a tree component? I've tried separating the different levels into different collections with separate custom methods, but I don't know how to specify the master/detail relationships between them.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Brian Spear.

Thanks, Frank. I don't think a tree table is the answer; it has the same requirements as the tree (or so I understand) with regards to populating each level from a different collection, and foreign key relationships. Not suitable for recursive relationships. Furthermore it only shows a small part of the tree at a time. I've got as far as returning a list of nodes within a structure, and I can display the structure, with icons for expanding and collapsing the nodes. All I need now is a way to indent the levels so the structure is more visible. The best I've managed so far is by inserting ". . ." in the text itself on each lower level, to make the left-justified text look indented. Obviously, I'd like a better way, that can be implemented in the view layer.
Is there maybe a way of nesting objects within an outputText component so that it doesn't wrap? Must look into that.
Thanks again.
Brian Spear.

How to make indented text in Muse

How to: make indented text in Muse, like a list with bullits

I read on another post that you can do ALT 0149 (WIN) and it will create a bullet in Muse. I tried ALT+0149 and then ALT then 0149 and neither one created a bullet so I must not be understanding the key shortcuts to create the bullet.
The above video is not captioned (I'm deaf) so I don't understand how he's creating the bullets. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong?
PS - when videos are made, it would be nice if you brought some kind of graphic on saying (for example) "Press the [whatever] key" so deaf people can see what's happening.

Reading a multilevel list from MS Word Doc and converting it into an HTML nested list using C#

I can achieve the above for a single level list as follows:
foreach (Paragraph item in app.Selection.Range.ListParagraphs)
item.Range.InsertBefore("<li>");
item.Range.InsertAfter("</li>");
Using C#, how can I programmatically convert a multilevel list (like the following) in a Word doc to a nested HTML list? Note: The bullet icons are not important. Thanks..Nam
List from Word Doc:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I

Hi Nam,
>>how can we programmatically determine the start and end elements of the sub-list with elements C,DE,F,G in the example of my original post? <<
We can check the begin and end elements of the sub-list by the
ListLevelNumber. For example, the sub-list's ListLevelNumber start at 2 by default. Here is the code to find the begin element for your reference:
Sub FindBeginSubElement()
For i = 1 To Selection.Range.ListParagraphs.Count
If Selection.Range.ListParagraphs(i).Range.ListFormat.ListLevelNumber = 2 Then
Debug.Print "begin sub element:" & Selection.Range.ListParagraphs(i).Range.Text
Exit Sub
End If
Next i
End Sub
Also we can loop the selection in reverse order to find the end element for the sub-list.
Hope it is helpful.

Multilevel List Style and Numbering

I have searched the forum without success regarding a RH8 problem. Can someone help? My problem may be user error, but I suspect it is a bug based on the few posts I found regarding multilevel list numbering.
I created a multilevel list style. I configured the alignment of the text lines as desired. I used the style. All was working well. Then for no apparent reason, the alignment of the lines changed. The second line of text in a numbered line does not align correctly, as shown in the file attached to this post. I can resolve the problem but only temporarily by reinstalling RH8.
Alas, I was excited about the new multilevel list functionality, but I have found it to be very unstable.

Thanks to Rick, my problem is solved!
Rick looked at my style sheet and used it to make a small chm file and it displayed perfectly. He told me that he suspected either the browser settings or perhaps the display settings.
After comparing all IE settings to no avail, I turned to the Display Settings for Windows 7.
In Display Settings, I had the text setting set on medium (125%), so I changed it back to the default, which is smaller 100%), logged off and then back on and BINGO!!
That was it!
I thought I had a problem with RoboHelp and it turned out to be the display setting for the OS! Urghhhhh!!!
Hope this helps other folks, who might be using the same setting and think that they're having a problem with their chm.....
Thanks again, Rick!
Best regards,

Populate drop-down list from multiple text fields.

Just to begin, I am brand new to this application and brand new to coding in general. Anyways, this is what I am trying to accomplish. I need to populate a drop-down list from multiple text fields. I am able to populate one item using this in the calculate event:
TextField1.rawValue
After I type text in TextField1 and hit enter, it displays the text in the drop-down list. I need to do this but with more than just one text field to populate more options for the drop-down list. I will also need to do something similar with populating a drop-down list from selections made in multiple other drop-down lists.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Thank you for your suggestion Geo Kaiser. With that, I was able to populate my drop-down lists, but now when I select an option from the drop-down list, the selection dissapears. The selection will appear briefly in the box but then dissapears although my drop-down list options remain there. Here is the code I am using for my text field to drop-down list:
DropDownList1.clearItems()
DropDownList1.addItem(TextField1)
DropDownList1.addItem(TextField2)
And here is my code for my drop-down list to populate another drop-down list:
DropDownList3.clearItems()
DropDownList3.addItem(DropDownList1)
DropDownList3.additem(DropDownList2)
Thanks again for your help. By the way, I am using Adobe Designer 7.0.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

Reading parameters lists from a text file

Hi All,
Using CR XI R2 with VB6 and external .rpt files - - - - -
In a VB6 app I use VB to loop through my tables to create dynamic parameter lists (CR XI is limited to the number of parameters it can create from the table). This works well but each time the user refreshes the report the same code is run to re-create the parameter list which is redundant and slows down the report(s).
Is it possible to manually create a series of text files - say each morning - and then read the parameter lists from the text file(s) at runtime instead of doing it on the fly each time?
Thanks in advance!
Peter Tyler

I find this sentence confusing:
Is it possible to manually create a series of text files - say each morning - and then read the parameter lists from the text file(s) at runtime instead of doing it on the fly each time?
Typically, runtime means on the fly - I think...
So, I'm not sure if you are trying to read a saved data report and filter that saved data so that you do not have to hit the database(?).
Creating a text file is beyond the support of this forum, though that should be a trivial exercise. Reading a text file and passing the results to a parameter is the same thing you are doing already, so I'm not sure where the hang up would be here(?)
Or - rather than creating a text file, why not create a temp table and query it as you do when you loop through the tables to create dynamic parameter lists(?).
I'm pretty lost here...

How can I list the head texts or texts of position of the invoices created

hello experts
I have a consultation.
how can I list the head texts or texts of position of the invoices created in module sap SD?
Up to now I can see them visualizing the document SD for transaction VF03, but I need to see a listing of invoices and don't unite in one.
he/she would thank their collaboration.
greetings,
Jorge Silva

Dear Jorge,
You can use T-Code VF05 or VF05N to generate list of Invoices with range of selection criterias...
The concerned tables for the same are VBRK & VBRP.
Let us know should you require any further help..
Hope this helps...

RH8 for HTML: Problem with Multilevel List in published topic(s)

I have discovered that working with the multilevel list and reapplying it (changing a level 2 to a level 1, for example) inserts numerous tags that don't show up in RH design view nor in an IE view of the published content, but the published help renders badly in Firefox (like a "justified" paragraph style that inserts broad spacing between words).
The bad thing is that broad spacing is added to a command where no spaces should be, which looks fine in IE, but renders like this in Firefox:
sqlplus XBRLDB/[email protected]:1521/ubmatrix
@C:\xbrl_database\database\Oracle\ verify_registration _v1_0 _1 .sql
The "source" for published content looks like this:
sqlplus XBRLDB/[email protected]:1521/ubmatrix
@C:\xbrl_database\database\Oracle\verify_registration
_v1_0_1
.sql
How do I prevent the tags from getting added to the RH project files? How do I remove them using the RH interface?
Why are they getting added in such wierd places?
PS: I have kept the paragraph style Numlist (which is how I define numbered procedures). I just apply the multilevel list to paragraphs tagged with this style. It's been working OK, except for the newly discovered problem above.
I'm using Verdana family and the numbers look good. I've only looked at the published HTML which looks like this: I
1 Do this
looks like this in a broser view:
1 Do this
Is this the 'expected' HTML code for numbered procedures (all this to precede a paragraph with a number), or is there a more efficient way to render numbered/mutilevel lists?

Hi there
I just created a small video that may be helpful for this.
Cheers... Rick

Help! I have an iPhone 4 and when I tap the "messages" thumbnail I'm not able to see a list of my text message threads.

I contacted Verizon (my phone's carrier) and they told me to simultaneously press the on/off button and the menu button. That rebooting fixed the problem, but will I have to do this all the time? Wonderinf if I should take the phone back to the Apple store and get a new one. I've had the phone about two weeks.

List and justified text problems

I'm creating a PDF that uses justified text for all paragraphs and centered headers. One of the problems I'm having is that if the last sentance in a paragraph contains just a few words, it ends up far to spaced out. It ends up looking rediculous, in extreme cases there is a word against the left margine and one against the right margin. How do I limit the space allowed between words?
Second, how do I creat a numbered list without it indenting the left margin of the paragraph that comes after each number? I need the number to be indented, just as you would indent the first sentance of a paragraph, but the rest of the justified text needs to have the same left margin as the non-numbered paragraphs.
Third, how do I keep the space between the number and the text the same with justified text? As it is now, it changes to acount for the number of charicters in the line of text. I aso need to keep the distance for number to left margin the same, I'm just pressing the tab button twice right now. I'm not using the list function right now because of the margine issues, I'm just including the number in the text.

1. To prevent the last line of text from spacing out, make sure you use a hard return at the end of the last sentence in the paragraph. That marks it as the end of a paragraph, and Buzzword won't try to justify the last line of what it recognizes as a paragraph.
2. You can use the ruler to adjust the indents and margins for paragraphs. For more details, open up the Help documentation, click on Buzzword tips (it's under Using Buzzword on the left), then click on Editing, then select the first item -- How do I create indents. It's a little tricky, but I think that you'll find that it provides the control you're looking for. Note that when you're adjusting the formatting of list paragraphs, all paragraphs in that list that are at the same list level will have the same paragraph formatting.
3. I think that if you use the paragraph formatting (via the ruler, as noted in #2) and the list functionality, the problem of the inter-character spacing will go away.
Hope this is helpful!

SSRS report - A single selection dropdown list converted to text box

Hello everyone,
We created a single selection dropdown parameter (City parameter) on a report. The data in this parameter is populated using MDX query. Also, it is filtered based on selection of another single selection dropdown list (Country parameter) of a report.
The problem is when there is no cities for the selected country the dropdown list is gets converted to free type text box and user can insert city data in it. Why SSRS is not keeping it as empty dropdown list with no data?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Charlie,
We developed a fresh report only with two parameters but still the dropdown control gets converted to text box in our case. We have two single selection parameters, Location and Customers. Based on selected Location the customer
dropdown gets populated.
Location Parameter Query
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME MEMBER
[Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS , [Location].[Location Name].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS FROM [Model]
Customer Query
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS
[Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS
[Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel],[Measures].[Amt]} ON COLUMNS,
nonempty([Customer].[Customer Name].ALLMEMBERS,[Measures].[Amt]) ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@LocationName, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Model])
Regarding parameter settings on General tab for both the above parameters we did not select any of the following values, all these checkboxes are empty:
Allow Blank Value ("") , Allow null value, Allow multiple values.
I think it has something related to [Measures].[Amt] that we used in customer parameter. We are now trying to take other two parameters where we would be not using the [Measures].[Amt] to filter the data. Will update you soon.
