No Bullets in CHM

Post by CanAussie »

G'day,

I have bullets in my project and they show in my html 5 output but not in my chm file. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you,

Canaussie

Can you please post the code for the ul and li bits in the medium that the CHM uses, and we might be able to help.

Thank you...

<ul style="list-style-type: square;">
<li>Company</li>
<li>Cost Type</li>
<li>Description</li>
</ul>

Perhaps it's something in the style sheet? Where to look?

Thank you again.

I'd try a test run with a plain UL tag. Try removing style="list-style-type: square;" and see what happens.

Thanks for the reply.

Plain bullets made no difference in the output.

Have tried a find on your style sheet to see if there is another UL declaration? I must admit this seems unlikely as you appear to have posted inline formatting from a topic, which should override style sheet formatting.

If you remove the inline formatting you can add the formatting to the style sheet.

One of the tricks I use when debugging is making an obvious change, such as changing font colour to red to make sure the place I'm making changes is the right place.

Code: Select all

UL { color: red;}

Great tip...I also started a new project to see what the default settings were for the <ul> tag and found the culprit.

Margin-Left was set to 37px...default is 40. I changed it to 40...all good now, the bullets are back in town.

One final question....If I mess with a style and decide to set it back to Flare default...is there a button for that?

For individual properties, if you click on the ... I think there is usually a (default) option (and the changed properties names are black rather than grey), in case that helps.
