Question

Bullets dropping a line only in WebHelp

I'm running RH HTML 9 and generating a bullet problem only in WebHelp. 

Bullets and numbers are dropping the content to the next line.

Example:

Editor and Preview show:

  • Text in a line

Generating to HTML WebHelp it looks like this:

  •   

         Text not in a line

The odd thing is that if I generate to WebHelp Pro, it's fine.

Conditions: 

The bullets that are normal style bulletted from the toolbar are okay UNLESS it's a bullet following by a number and then it turns into a numbered list and drops a line:

  • 1.1.1 

Turns into:

   1.

    1.1.1.

Bullets that are styled as bullets have the same problem.

I can probably go and change them all to normal text and rebullet with the icon and cheat the bullet number problem, but I'd really rather not.  There must a be global fix, yes?

Thanks,

Rob

Playing around with it, I know know it's a Master Page problem.  Somehow, not sure how, the bullet problem is fixed with the exception of a bullet beginning with a number.  Then the line drops.

  • 1.1.1

becomes

     1.1.

Anyone?  Anyone?

Try with a different CSS, use one of the supplied CSS files.

Does it still happen then? If not, then the answer should be in the UL OL and LI tags, best read in Notepad or similar.
