Hi,

I am creating a list style. I want to use a custom png/jpeg/gif image as the bullet. Is it possible to do that. If yes, how do I do that?

Thanks,

Vinay

Thnx for all your help. Acquired a lot of gyaan from the above 2 links. Without those links I will be wandering everywhere finding out how to convert those numbered lists to bulleted lists again.

Finally I decided to create new List styles which RH8 is providing. Thats the best option I guess.

Thnx again

The fastest way is to use a find and replace tool, to change the existing tags into the tags you want to use. If your old tags are like this: <li class="p-Bullet1"><p class="Bullet1"> and your list style is called BulletOne, you can replace all beforementiond tags with: <li class="BulletOne"><p>

If you post an example topic containing the old lists and the new lists, I can tell you what you need to find and replace.

Hey Willam,

My old list style (Worked in RH7, but not RH8) in css is displayed as:

P.List2 {
list-style: url(bullet.png);
margin-left: 48px;
}

LI.P-List2 {
list-style: url(bullet.png);
}

Now, how should I change it in RH8.

To explain the issue more clearly.

I am using my own template in RH7.

For bulleted list 1 style, I am using the image:

For bulleted list 2 style, I am using the image:

So, when you apply the above two styles, it looks as shown in the following figure.

But recently I upgraded RH to version 8 and both styles automatically changed to numbered lists. The font, indent, spacing. etc , everything is fine, except for those images which are replaced by numbers as shown in the following figure:

I am trying to edit the styles, but I am not able to find the option to insert those images in RH 8.

I think I am clear this time... Can someone help me with this.

Vinay....

Hi,

We've discussed lists on this forum numerous times. Please search the forum.

What is probably happening is that your style definitions are set in the paragraph and that won't work anymore in RH 8.

See http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh8/rh8_lists.htm for an overview over how to work with lists in RH 8.

As for your existing topics, please post an example topics. There may be a fairly easy solution to change make your project work.

Greet,

Willam
