Number List in Webhelp

[svaishnav]

Hi,

I have created a number list. However, it is not visible in the preview as well as in the WebHelp output.

Can anybody please let me know the reason and how to make it work?

Can you show us the code you used to make it?

Hi,

Here is the code.

<ol>
<li class="Numbered_Steps">Open the file.</li>
<li class="Numbered_Steps">Under the <span class="_Override" style="font-weight: bold;">Tools</span> menu, select <span class="_Override" style="font-weight: bold;">Generate Password</span>. The following dialog box appears:<center style="margin-left: 5.99976px;margin-top: 2.25px;margin-right: 6.000484px;"><img src="../../P.jpg" width="300" height="210" /></center></li>
</ol>
<p class="Caption">Generate the 2nd Password</p>
<ol>
<li class="Numbered_Steps" value="3">Specify a password—consisting of 8 to 12 characters—in <span class="_Override" style="font-weight: bold;">Enter Password</span>.</li>
</ol>
<p class="Note" MadCap:autonum="<b>Note: </b>">You must remember the password, as the same will be needed afterwards. In case you forget the password, repeat the steps mentioned above. </p>
<ol>
<li class="Numbered_Steps" value="4">Click <span class="_Override" style="font-weight: bold;">Generate</span>. A dialog box appears prompting you to save the <span class="_Override" style="font-style: italic;">s.dat</span> file.</li>
<li class="Numbered_Steps">Choose the current directory as location and click <span class="_Override" style="font-weight: bold;">Save</span>. A confirmation message appears. </li>
</ol>

So is it just the numbers that don't show up, or the entire list? If it's just the numbers, I would check the style info in the numbered steps class and make sure it isn't over riding the numbering in some way.

If it's the entire list, make sure you haven't got any conditions applied higher up in the html code.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for drawing my attention on the stylesheet. Actually, the list-style-type was defined as none. I changed it to decimal and it is visible now.
