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

Report · Aug 08, 2022

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?

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

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 CS6 is 10 years out of date (obsolete software), discontinued & unsupported.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

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

I prefer a.1.i

CSS code:

ol li {list-style-type:lower-alpha;}
ol li li {list-style-type: decimal;}
ol li li li {list-style-type:lower-roman}

I've been saying web-devlopment these days is bordering on insanity....this sort of proves my point.

In this case, I may agree with you.

FluidGrids + WordPress =
