Multilevel list RH9 - How to set a second level indent (no number or symbol)

[CraigCC]

Hi all,

RH9

I need to create a new multi level list with a level 2 without a bullet or number

e.g.

1. first level
   
   second level
   
   .  third level
   
   
2. first level
   
   second level
   
   .  third level

So first level number, second level indent and third level bullet. I don't want to use CTRL enter for second level.

For the life of me I cannot get multi level list to have no number or image. If I select list style NONE for the second level it inserts 'A'.

Any ideas appreciated thanks

We are trying to avoid using shift - enter to achieve this - we want the document a bit tidier. And and tailorable for print.

Will report back if I get a solution.

Thanks

Craig

You might prefer a CSS solution, particularly if you "want the document a bit tidier." If the following works for you, you would place the CSS elements in your CSS style sheet, rather than in the HEAD section of the topic(s), as demonstrated here for the example. If other types of lists interfere with this combo, you might want to assign CSS classes to it, such as ol.multi1 dl { }, ol.multi1 dl ul { }, then calling the outer list in the HTML as <ol class="multi1">.

Test this in the HEAD section of a topic:

<style type="text/css">

ol dl {list-style-type:none;}
ol dl ul {list-style-type:circle;}
</style>

Test this in the BODY section of the same topic:

<p>Example of multi1 list:</p>
<ol>
<li>First number</li>
<dl>
<li>First none</li>
<ul>
<li>First bullet</li>
<li>Second bullet</li>
</ul>
</dl>
<li>Second number</li>
</ol>

Naturally, you can set the margins, spacing, etc. in your CSS attributes to suit yourself. See the W3C web site for further help. They even have nice little "Try it yourself" sections where you can experiment in real time.

Good luck,

Leon

Create the multi-level list using the supplied BasicNumber and leave Level 2 set at the default "a".

Open the CSS in Notepad. Find the line below and remove whatever is between the quotes so that it is as shown.

    x-lvl-2-format: "";

When you hit the indent from a level one item, you should see what you want.
