Bulleted List Issue

I am currently working on a WebHelp project in RoboHelp HTML (RH10) and am using bulleted lists. The issue is that some of our bulleted lists use an image bullet for the first line and then the subsequent lines beneath should use the standard round bullet. During development, within RoboHelp, there doesn't seem to be an issue with this; however, when I preview and/or generate the project, the subsequent lines beneath take on the properties of the first line resulting in all of the lines having the image bullet.

This is what it looks like during development (I removed image bullet format to the subsequent lines and applied the round bullet format - which is the goal format).

This is what it looks like when it's previewed and/or generated.

Thank you in advance for your help, this is a very frustrating issue.

Sure! Let me know if you're looking for something more than this ...


Rh is writing the code incorrectly. Notice that the closing tag for the first list comes after the second list.

It might work if you amend the code but I suspect Rh will rewrite it. If it does, then it is a bug you are stuck with. Do report it though. The more people who report a bug or request a feature, the more likely it is to be actioned. Please follow this link.

As a temporary workaround, create a paragraph style called Spacer or suchlike. Set the font to be 1pt and no top or bottom margin. After the "list" with the image, insert a line using that style, then revert to Normal and create the second list. With just 1pt in between it will hopefully not be noticeable.

Are you including the image bullet as a baggage file & how is the CSS looking for these two types of bullets?

No, the image bullets are not baggage files, they're actually part of the CSS (in the CSS they are a list style).

For the subsequent lines that are using the round bullet (or is supposed to be), it's using the "Normal" style.

Shouldn’t the round bullets be using a bulleted style? Then the HTML would refer to the icon_note style for the first line, and the bulleted style for the rest. Then the CSS would be defined for each style, right?
