Unordered Lists Print as Ordered Lists?!

The only way I can figure out to indent text in iWeb is with the "Text Indent" parameter under "List" in the Text Inspector. I used that to format the following page:
http://homepage.mac.com/william.blattner/ISPS/2006.html
It looks fine on the screen, but when you try to print the page, phantom numbers appear at the beginning of every indented line. When I inspected the source code for the page, I noticed that iWeb is using the "OL" tag – the ordered list tag, which will generate numbers by default.
Three questions for anyone out there:
1. Is there another way to produce the indent, without using the "Text Indent" parameter?
2. Has anyone else had this problem?
3. Is it possible that this is a product of my publishing to homepage.mac.com, rather than web.mac.com?
iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iWeb 1.1.2
iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iWeb 1.1.2

I understand that it's an invalid property, the property is not defined at all. The web standard is that if you have an unordered list (ul) then it uses bullet points, and if you use an ordered list (ol) then it uses numbers. This is completely backwards on the new update, and since we develop over 400 websites, it will be a waste of our time to go back through every site and add a style type.

  • Unordered list not printing correctly

    I created a heading 3 followed immediately by an unordered
    list. However, when I print the webpage out, I see the heading 3
    fine and then the 1st bullet appears where it should but the text
    for the first bullet begins several lines down the page. All the
    other bullets are thus pushed down as well but the spacing for the
    remaining bullets is fine. It's just that the text for the first
    bullet begins way down the page. Everything looks OK in the
    browser; just when printed is the problem.
    Here is the process I followed. Selected heading 3 on the
    property inspector and typed my heading. Then went to
    insert-->html-->text objects-->unordered list and began
    typing in the info for each bullet
    My code is below. Please help.

    It's most likely an IE issue with floats. I already get this
    effect in
    the normal browser view - the form is pushed down after the
    left-side
    "New Items" box. The print preview looks even worse as
    described.
    Actually I don't have a quick solution at hand. A while ago I
    had a
    similar problem on one of my sites, but can't remember what I
    did to
    solve it ... In many cases it's enough to simply apply a
    height: 1% or
    zoom: 1
    to the floated element to get the rendering right in IE. You
    just have
    to make sure that only IE sees these hacks. Conditional
    comments are
    really helpful for that.

  • Ordered and Unordered Lists viewed in WYSIWYG Editor in RoboHelp 10

    I recently upgraded a project from RH 9 (9.0.2.271) to RH 10 (10.0.0.287). Ordered and unordered lists display in the WYSIWYG Editor with more spacing around each line. When I generate the output to HTML Help, the spacing looks fine. I also tested generating output to WebHelp, and again, the output looks fine.
    I have paragraph and list styles defined in my style sheet that I apply to the text in the topic. I also looked at the styles in RH 10 and Media is set to "None."
    Using the Style Pod, I looked at the set up of the parapgraph and list styles. For those styles, (and my body text styles - which look fine in the WYSIWYG Editor) have spacing before and after spacing set. (NOTE: These styles were created in RH8 and the WYSIWYG Editor displayed the styles appropriately in RH8 and RH9.) Even though I changed the style sheet, the WYSIWYG Editor is still displaying more space around the styles then I am expecting.
    I know this is not a huge issue since the output looks fine, but I want to understand why the WYSIWYG Editor isn't working as I expect. I would like the editor to display with correct spacing.
    I attached a few screen captures showing what I see.
    HTML Help Output
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I suspect part of the issue is that your list styles have spacing above and below and then you have applied paragraph styles that also have spacing above and below.
    Using both is OK and is how I work. However, I do not have any spacing above and below in my list styles. I rely on the paragraph style for that. It looks like Rh's Design Editor is applying both but browsers are not.
    It is still not quite the same in a browser as in Design Editor but it is much closer. There will also be browser differences anyway so it's a case of getting some balance.
    Try removing the before and after spacing in the list style. Alternatively, if you do not generate printed documentation then rely on the list style only. (Select the lists in a topic and set paragraph to None).
    Let us know if that is close enough.

  • Inserting ordered/unordered list items breakes the document design

    Hi,
    I use JEditorPane to edit HTML document. When I insert ordered/unordered list items, it breakes the design of the document. For example, I have next peace of the document:
    <center>
    This text is centered.
    One more line...
    </center>
    after inserting list item between text lines, document looks like :
    <center>
    This text is centered.
    </center>
    <ol>
    <li>
    </li>
    </ol>
    <center>
    One more line...
    </center>
    Note, that center tag is closed before list item and opened after it.
    Is it possible that inserted list items will save the original design of text around ?
    Thanks.
    .Vlad.

    Change the Leading in the Character Pallet to a smaller number, and increase the Space After in the Paragraph Pallet.
    The space between lines in the same paragraph is the leading, the space between paragraphs is not leading, and trying to achieve it with the leading field always creates more problems than it solves.

  • JTextPane ordered-list, unordered-list

    Hi
    I am using RTFEditorKit and want to implement " ordered-list, unordered-list " in a JTextPane. Does anyone has some solution to this?
    Thanx

    Start a new, blank HTML page. Put your lists on it. Are they
    behaving as
    expected? If so, and I suspect that it's so, then it's
    something else on
    your original page. Can we see it?

  • When will Adobe Muse support ordered and unordered lists?

    When will Adobe Muse support ordered and unordered lists instead of forcing users to create manually formated bullet points? I've asked this question before, but never saw an answer to it. I know others have asked it as well. Adobe has set a high bar with its other solutions. It doesn't look good that Muse does not support ordered and unordered lists at this late date.

    Lance,
    Thanks for responding - I guess I pushed a button
    My perception of the forums and response from Adobe is based upon looking at most of the postings in the "bugs" forum. There are lots of reads, very few replies.
    Given the fact that many users have asked about bullets and other basic text formating I am surprised that there is still no sign of them. Perhaps it is felt that there are workarounds that will do. The truth is, as you noted, that none of the workarounds are great, some are not even practical. For my specific case, I would have been happy to use workaround #1, except that the line items were hyperlinks, and I needed to open them in a separate window using the javascript window.open function. As I've detailed in other posts, there is a real problem with this in Muse. Hyperlinked javascript calls are invoked via the "href=" attribute, but this doesn't work properly in a number of browsers. There isn't a way to tell Muse to use onclick instead (which works for all browsers). This led me to have to use embedded html.
    That leads me to try #2, which is to use CSS styling in the embedded html. This too gave me fits. Using a <style> section to set the attributes for <ul> or <li> did not work. I can only assume that the tags inside the embedded HTML have a Muse-generated id or class. I tried to get the bullets by setting the list-style-type in the <ul> tag itself using the style attribute, but this did not work (it should). It does work if you put the list-style-type in the <li> tags. This is pretty tedious, and led me to create text files containing the html separate from Muse so that I can use an editor to copy repeated strings. Then I cut and paste into the embedded html container.
    Note that, even though I finally found something that works, it is not visible in the design view, so you can't even tell it works without previewing it!
    I haven't tried option #3, but given the need to force the use of onclick I imagine that would not be possible with your widget. I was aware of the list widget however.
    I'll have to look at the Mucow docs and give it a try. The docs are a bit light - any plans to flesh them out?
    Thanks,
    Gareth

  • How do I create an unordered list with three items and link to id's

    How do I create an ordered list with three items and linl to id's on my page

    Thanks, I guess what I was really asking, Is there a n option in the insert menu or somewhere where Dreamweaver does it for you.
    I am not clear on what you are wanting DW to do for you?  Is it that you want it to insert a three item unordered list?  No - there's no such function.  You would need to click in Design view where you want the list to go, click on the bulleted list icon on the Property inspector, and then enter the three items separated by carriage returns.  Then you'd have to link each item specifically.
    To enter the named anchors to element ID values, CS5 has no way to do this.  You'd have to enter those links manually.

  • TEXT ALIGN PROBLEM UNORDERED LIST SPRY PANEL

    When a sentence is too long for its container it breaks to the line below
    In a vertical unordered list with square bullets how do I get the word below
    to line up with its parent sentence above? just like in this sentence. Reference below.

    We would need to see your CSS & HTML code.
    My guess is that you removed default settings (margins & padding) from your unordered lists -- perhaps with a reset CSS.

  • Displaying a nested unordered list

    I have a Flash page that goes out and reads an XML file, then displays the information in it.  Most of the time, it works great.  However, when it comes to nested lists, it doesn't work.  I am using CDATA so that I can use HTML code to display the information as intended.  But Flash absolutely refuses to display a nested list correctly.  For example, if I put in there <ul><li>item 1 <ul><li>subbullet 1</li><li>subbullet 2</li></ul></li></ul>, it displays everything as if I had made each of them individual list items under one master <ul></ul>.
    There's got to be a way to get Flash to understand and display a nested list.  It's a simple thing to do, I know it.   I just can't figure it out.  Does anyone else know?

    As found on the flex community blog: (http://blog.flexcommunity.net/?p=38)
    "Ordered and unordered lists (<ol> and <ul> tags) are not recognized by Flash Player, so they do not modify how your list is rendered. All list items use bullets."
    This means that you will need to do that formatting yourself to get it to look correct.  Take a look at the textformat tag that Flash uses, which will allow you to play around with the padding to get the effect you want.

  • Unordered list not showing up as indented bullet points within Accordian

    http://www.foundationforyoutharts.org/test/Programs.html
    I have a page using the spry accordian, and about five different catagories of information. Some of the copy is in unordered lists (in martial arts catagories), but it shows up as as regular text. Any ideas on how to make it view as a typical unordered list with bullet points and indented?
    Thanks for taking time to look at this.

    Add a margin-left of 20px to your ul.
    Either added it in your stylesheet. or directly on the element:
    <ul style="margin-left:20px">

  • Rounded corners on unordered list

    I'd like to be able to have style my vertical menu, made with
    an
    unordered list, to have rounded corners. The menu is a fixed
    width, but
    the items could sometimes run onto two lines, so the height
    of each item
    needs to be flexible.
    I created images called top.gif and bottom.gif for the curves
    and when
    I've done boxes I've made the bottom image a background to
    the box div
    tag and the top image a background to the heading tag within
    the div.
    However with the unordered list I don't really have two
    elements to
    attach the images to, if you understand what I mean?
    I've been googling but haven't yet found a solution. Can
    anyone
    recommend a way of doing this?
    Thanks
    Vix

    > I've been googling but haven't yet found a solution. Can

    > a way of doing this?
    Could could wrap the UL in a DIV, giving you two elements.
    You could give the first LI and last LI custom classes,
    giving you to
    elements.
    While not pristine, I often will use wrapper divs to attach
    CSS too:
    <div id="menuOuterwrapper">
    <div id="innnerWrapper">
    <ul>...</ul>
    </div></div>
    That works for me in that it keeps my 'style HTML' separate
    from my 'content
    HTML'.
    A goofy interpretation of 'separation of style and content',
    perhaps.
