Question

well, I select the div <ol> go to format list properties and hit enter..... nothing comes up to edit

Title says it all.

using DW CS6 fluid grid. but I copy pasted 90 pages of a wordpress site to be formated. the thing is it is already numbered and lettered.

So I make ol of it all and now I want to edit the list properties, as I do not like 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 etc I prefer a.1.i etc

how to edit the list properties in dw cs6, as the normal way does not work: select <ol> format list properties.
is there an update to that removes this bug?

    In this case, I may agree with you. 

    FluidGrids + WordPress =

    CSS code:

    ol li li {list-style-type: decimal;}

    ============

    This is ugly on so many levels.  Here's why:

    1. CS6 is 10 years out of date (obsolete software), discontinued & unsupported.

    2. Fluid Grids were a bad idea 10 years ago.  Since then Adobe abandoned FluidGrids and replaced it with Bootstrap.

    3. What are you hoping to gain from pasting WordPress (a dynamic PHP/MySQL site) into static HTML?

     

    Text is styled with CSS, not HTML.  See example below.

     

    <!doctype html>
    <html lang="eng">
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Ordered List</title>
    
    <style>
    ol li li {list-style-type: upper-alpha;
    }
    ol li li li {list-style-type:decimal}
    
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
    <ol>
      <li>List Item</li>
      <li>List Item</li>
      <li>List Item
        <ol>
          <li>List Item</li>
          <li>List Item
            <ol>
              <li>List Item</li>
              <li>List Item</li>
              <li>List Item</li>
            </ol>
          </li>
          <li>List Item</li>
        </ol>
      </li>
      <li>List Item</li>
      <li>List Item
        <ol>
          <li>List Item</li>
          <li>List Item</li>
          <li>List Item</li>
        </ol>
      </li>
      <li>List Item</li>
      <li>List Item</li>
    </ol>
    </body>
    </html>
    
    
    

     

    Hope that helps.

    The thing is, I just made it with fluidgride template. it comes with a css file and boilerplate css and js files

    there already is a css list area as following:

    ul, ol { margin: 1em 0; padding: 0 0 0 40px; }
    dd { margin: 0 0 0 0px; }
    nav ul, nav ol { list-style: none; list-style-image: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; }

    if I understand you correctly I should swap that out for the code:
    ol li {list-style-type:lower-alpha;}
    ol li li {list-style-type: decimal;}
    ol li li li {list-style-type:lower-roman}
    and actually if we have upto 7 layers, is there a cheat sheet to know all available list styles?

    thanks for the info.

    greets,

    Roy
