Question

Does TLF support bulleting?

I have to make a text editor which support arabic, therefore I have to use TLF, but I also need the possibility to use bullets in the text.

Does TLF support bulleting?

If yes, how can I apply it?

If not, when will it support?

No, TLF does not support list tags, yet. Although if you look earlier in this thread there are a few suggested workarounds.

While TLF doesn't support lists yet, you can always "fake" a list using paragraph elements and the bullet character (U+2022). For example, if you are creating textflow XML, you can do something such as:

<flow:p xmlns:flow="http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008" textIndent="20"><flow:span>• This is a bullet item</flow:span></flow:p>

I've heard on various developer blogs that lists and tables are on the way, but probably won't become available until after gumbo is released (post-beta). However, since text flow is just a set of components enclosed in a separate SWC file, updates to it might come quicker than every Flex SDK update.

not exactly ideal though.  If the bullet wraps the indenting is wrong

You can improve on it by using a tab character after the bullet, and setting the paragraphStartIndent on the text for the following lines in the paragraph. But, yes, built-in list suport would be better.

TLF does not support list tags at this time.  Its a feature we're planning to implement in a future release.

Sorry about that,

Richard
