Robohelp 10 output line spacing for numbered lists is off

I wondered if you have had this situation occur with your output from Robohelp 10.
I created my help system and CSS using Robohelp 10. My CSS contains a numbered list style and an alpha list style, both having line spacing of 3pt before and 3pt after. Looks great in Robohelp WYSIWYG, but the generated output (in IE and Chrome) looks bad. The numbered list line has way too much line spacing after (the next style is a non-numbered list style) and the alpha list has way too little line spacing.
I tried playing around with changing the line spacing but it does not change the output!
Thought I'd reach out to see if you have experienced this issue and the most expedient way to resolve.
Here is an example of HTML tags in Robohelp:
numbered list
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-1ListNumber" start="1" style="list-style: rh-list;
list-style: rh-list;" ?><p class="1ListNumber">instruction text.</p><?rh-list_end ?>
alpha list
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-Alpha" style="list-style: rh-list;
list-style: rh-list;" ?><p class="Alpha">Instruction text.</p><?rh-list_end ?>
thanks much

If you create a single topic project showing this problem and send it to me as directed on the Contact page of my site, I will take a look.

hi,
You can try generating 5V continously for 100ms in a loop later on you can make it low.
Hope this helps you.

Inexact Line Spacing for different fonts

The line spacing performs correctly with, for example, an Arial font. But when choosing a PostScript font like The Sans I have to adjust the Line Spacing to ".01" or ".02" instead of "1" to have a "normal" spacing.
This presents a problem when changing fonts or for selecting text, because I have to point the cursor one line down of the line I really need to select.
Does anybody know a workaround? Thanks.

Lists is a separate level of formatting from the paragraph style that you are trying to apply. Lists is applied over the paragraph style and controls the numbering systems and indents, it does not seem to extend to space before.
You will need to create a paragraph style for the leading top level and another for the following indented points.
You can however use:
Inspector > Text > More > Following Paragraph Style:
To set the indented points style to follow after you hit return on the top level style

Change starting number for Numbered List.

I am breaking up a list into 4 columns and I want them numbered. When you use the Numbered List it automatically starts at 1. I want it to start with the number I left off with in the text box next to it. How do you change the starting number for a Numbered List?

Ok, this is how you do it (just figured it out myself!)
If you click in the text box and do command A to select all, it will select all of the text BUT not the numbers. If you want to change the size of the numbers, you have to click on the number in the text box (the entire line will highlight) and use command-+ and command-minus to increase/decrease the size (or choose from the character palette. This WILL change the size of everything in the text box, but then you can go back to a simple command-a to change the text to the size you want.

How do I correct the line spacing for last line of a paragraph?

I am using a paragraph style with a GREP setting all tect to a specific character style (Arial 9 pt with 12 pt leading.)
The last line had a larger spacing. Reading the forums I found that the end of paragraph character (EOP) had the wrong font size and checking it I found it was set to 12 pt with auto leading. Somehow in playing with the text I got the EOP to match the 9/11 setting, but still have the space.
So I closed the file and changed the default text to be arial 6 pt so that the paragraph character would no longer dictate the line space. This has no affect.
I reset the paragraph as basic paragraph and it sets it to a font Minion Pro @12 pt. I though t I had changed the default, but nothing changed????.
I am also a bit confused as to why changing a paragraph style does not change the EOP as well. Is there a setting to make it behave the same?
OR
Is this a problem with the GREP statement? It currently uses the period character to select everything.

Have you tried simply placing your cursor in the problematic paragraph and click on "clear overrides"? If it works for one paragraph, select them all and do that.
However, what is the underlying paragraph style? Have you tried changing the leading in the paragraph style definition.
It sounds a little like what's happening is that your grep style is applying a charater style to all character but not the EOP marker, which is taking it's leading from the underlying paragraph style.
Also, why are you using a GREP stye to apply a character style to everything in the paragraph. It would make more sense to define those attributes withing the paragraph style itself.

How can I change or reduce the line spacing to single in a "multiple lines of text" column in a list?

We keep many logs in a simple list format. One of the columns requires a description using the "multiple lines of text" default column. Sometimes the person making the entry needs to complete about 20-30 lines of text. Users are requesting we reduce
the amount of space advanced between lines to save space and be more concise. Is there a way to reduce the line spacing for the column entries to single spacing without code?
Maree N Percival

We determined that the site column settings were incorrect for allowing single spacing, we changed the site column setting from "Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)" to "Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)"
and it is now keeping the text in single spaced lines.
<label for="onetidRichText">Specify the type of text to allow:</label>
<input id="onetidRichTextPlain" name="RichText" title="Plain text" type="radio" value="PLAIN" />
<label for="onetidRichTextPlain">Plain text </label>
<input id="onetidRichTextCompatible" name="RichText" title="Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)" type="radio" value="COMPATIBLE" />
<label for="onetidRichTextCompatible">Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)</label>
<input id="onetidRichTextFullHtml" name="RichText" title="Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)" type="radio" value="FullHtml" />
<label for="onetidRichTextFullHtml">Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)</label>

RH8 conversion (bullet images and numbered lists are different)

Version 8.0.2.208
Conversion of 1200 htm files.
Has anyone experience bullet images in their custom styles changing from RH7 to RH8 and numbers in numbered lists resized?
Bullets
I noticed that all my bullet images have changed. They are OK in Design view, but change when the topics are previewed and generated.
For example, if the style used a small square bullet image, it was changed to the bullet used at the beginning of this sentence.
If I attempt to create a new bullet list in the existing topic using the Normal style (Arial 12) and Formatting Toolbar (Bullets), the bullet and text are changed to (Arial 10) and the style name changes to (none) in Design view. Preview and generated is also Arial 10 for both.
Numbered Lists
Most of the existing converted topics used the Normal style and Formatting Toolbar (Numbers) for numbered lists. There is spacing between each numbered line. The numbers and text are in (Arial 12) in Design view, but the numbers are (Arial 10) when the topics are previewed and generated and the text remains (Arial 12).
If I select the numbered list, click the numbered list icon to turn off numbering, and then click to turn on numbering, the numbers and text are (Arial 10) and the style is changed to (none). Output and preview are (Arial 10). The spacing between the numbered items is deleted.
I have to then highlight that list and change the style back to Normal for (Arial 12) text.
If I attempt to create a new numbered list in the existing topic using the Normal style (Arial 12) and Formatting Toolbar (Bullets), the bullet and text are changed to (Arial 10) and the style name changes to (none) in Design view. Preview and generated is also Arial 10 for both.
This has taken up a lot of my time. Any clues?
Donna

I went to the link you provided.I am still confused as to the step by step procedure to fix my custom bullet style that is used throughout my project. Can you globally fix this issue? It would be too time consuming to figure out where in 1200 topics this style is used. I guess I don't understand list styles.
Custom Style = BulletList
My custom (BulletList) style - Design mode:
Preview mode (incorrect)
Another topic using ths sam (BulletList) style - Preview mode (incorrect should be square bullets)
I select Format > Styles in design mode. Right-click on BulletList, select Edit.
If I ceate a bulleted list, the square bullet is selected.

(none) style gets applied to numbered list & font size not matching text in my style sheet

RoboHelp 9 (9.0.2.271)
Something is wrong with my style sheet, and it only started happening after I created Master Page for the first time. This happens whether or not the new Master Page is applied to a topic: Every time I type any text in a topic, then click the Numbered List icon in the toolbar, the style goes from Normal to (none), and the font changes from my style sheet's Normal 10pt to 8pt, for the number as well as the text.
I don't see how the new Master Page has anything to do with it because it's not applied to this particular topic. I had created a Master Page in RoboHelp HTML and applied my style sheet, then my topics to it. I have a footer in the Master Page and applied 8pt font using inline formatting (not the style sheet).
I created a new project to see what would happen.
When I apply my style sheet, then apply the numbered list to text, the text font is correct (10pt), but the number font is wrong (8pt).
But when I apply the default style sheet to the topic, the number font and text font match.
How can I get the number and text fonts to match in my style sheet?
I found a workaround by applying inline formatting to the next (10pt) after selecting the text and clicking the numbered list icon. Below is the html code. The numbered steps in red are the ones that are not correct (8 pt). The code with the correct formatting (after I applied inline formatting) is in blue.
<body>
<h1>My Overview</h1>
<p>example</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>first step</li>
<li>second step</li>
</ol>
<ol type="1">
<li style="font-size: 10pt;">Fixed by applying inline formatting to
10pt after selecting the numbered list icon</li>
<li style="font-size: 10pt;">next step</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<?rh-placeholder type="footer" ?>
</body>
Thanks.

Amebr,
That was helpful. I'm looking at a topic now, and both the Apply Style list on the Formatting toolbar show (none) when I click a numbered list that I created using the Created a Numbered List or Create a Bulleted List on the toolbar.
This is the html code for the correct font (10pt):
<ol>
<li class="p">this is the (none) style when I use the numbering button
on the toolbar (which is inline formatting)</li>
<li class="p">this is the (none) style when I use the numbering button
on the toolbar (which is inline formatting)</li>
<li class="p">this is the (none) style when I use the numbering button
on the toolbar (which is inline formatting)</li>
</ol>
Both styles list show the correct custom styles I created for numbered lists, though. Below is the code (correct font):
<ol>
<li class="p-ProcedureSteps"><p class="ProcedureSteps">this is from
my custom numbered style and looks correct</p></li>
</ol>
What's strange is, if I create a list and highlight it, then click the Apply Numbered List button in the toolbar, the numbers and text font size changes to 8 point and my Normal font is 10 pt, and both style lists show (none). That's what I wanted to figure out in my original post. I opened up the stylesheet and I don't see where that's applied. In Flare, you can easily see in a table how the styles are formatted, down to each class.
This is the code for the incorrect font (8pt):
<ol type="1">
<li>why is this 8pt?</li>
<li>why is this 8pt?</li>
<li>why is this 8pt?</li>
</ol>
Below is a screenshot.
Maybe someone can figure this out. Thanks!

How do i edit numbered lists?

I often use the numbered list option from the toolbar when composing an email. How do I
1. edit size and font of numbers inserted when using this function?
2. create a line spacing between numbered items?
Thank you

margins refer to the outside of the box/element.
padding refers to the area inside of the element.

SAPSCRIPT to Web(pdf) has different line spacing than in SAP?

When we issue to output the order in SAP it looks fine. When we open it in the web, using PDF, the lines are spaced differently.
We have never had an issue before, but now we added a lot of text to a final page of the sapscript.
Any suggestion how to adjust the PDF line spacing for output via our SAP Function Modules that create OTF to PDF?
Thanks,

Hi,
The SAPscript must generate an OTF output and then you convert the OTF into PDF format.
There are 2 possibilities :
1.Without generating any spool :
2.When calling OPEN_FORM function module, export parameter OPTIONS-TDGETOTF = 'X', and when calling CLOSE_FORM function module, use returned parameter OTFDATA
call CONVERT_OTF function module to convert the OTF to PDF. Returned parameters are BIN_FILE (the PDF binary) and BIN_FILESIZE (the length of the PDF binary). See below how to save a PDF binary to a file.
If an OTF spool has been generated, you may convert it using CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF function module. Returned parameters are PDF table (the PDF binary) and PDF_BYTECOUNT (the length of the PDF binary).
Thanks

How to adjust line spacing

Can you adjust the line spacing in Dreamweaver or does it have to be done by code? And how so?

Line-spacing on what? Headings, Lists, Paragraphs...? With CSS rules, you can define line spacing for all selectors in the body rules. Or you can specify different line-heights on individual selectors.
CSS global rule (applied to all selectors):
body {line-height: 100%}
CSS more specific rule (applied only to named selectors):
#header p {
line-height: 2;
#footer p {
line-height: 1.5;

Can you change the line spacing in the legend?

Is there a way to change the line spacing in the legend? I have a pie chart with text and I can't change the line spacing for its legend like you would in a regular text. Is there a way to change it?

For space between each line, use the leading value in the Character pallet. For space between paragraphs, use the Space Before or Space After values in the Paragraph pallet.

How to create inconsistent numbered list style?

Can I create paragagraph style with inconsistent numbered list in InDesign CS4? I created a style with numbered list but when I apply it to the second list on another page of my document list numbering continues from last number of previous list (in consecutive order). What's up? I want to get the same effect as in Microsoft Word.

Yesterday I created new discussion on topic of numbered list style.
Then I found out about Restart numbering not working for numbered lists created w/ paragraph style one and began to experiment.
I would like numbered lists to begin with #1 by means of style as on this page.
I did it using Numbered List on the Control Panel. It does what I want.

I’ve created numbered list style (body text) that has no number at LEVEL 1 and use that to restart the numbering (see 2 JPG)
Secondly, I’ve also created the Numbered List style as Dominic Hurley advises:
This is result (see 3 JPG):
And this is the final result of my work (see 4 JPG):
1, 2 -7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 -18
It is still all Greek to me.
Please help me to understand this. What am I doing wrong????

Line spacing anomaly

When I put a link inside my static text block, all of the
line spacing for the entire text block disappears, as well as
having the text color randomly change back. Why, and is there a
workaround?

Don't hold your breath!
The truth is that Adobe KNOWS this does not work but refuses
to fix it. Just like a myriad of other bugs in Flash and Fireworks
CS4. If you write to them, they will IGNORE you. If you call them,
they will tell you that they know about the issue, but will say no
more. This is like a dealership selling you a car with windows that
don't work and then refusing to fix it. Maybe we should wait for
CS5 and buy that to see what kind of new bugs appear! Man, I miss
Macromedia! Adobe: KMA!
