Bullets Change Style On Printing from Preview

Post by rmdavidson »

I have a WebHelp output with some nested lists with the levels as numbers, bullets, then circles. When I preview the topic in Flare it displays correctly. I printed the topic from the preview so I could see it on paper as that just works better for seeing things sometimes and it printed as all bullets. Any ideas why?

I'm not sure the fact it is for WebHelp matters other than that is all I have other than a CHM which is published quarterly and I only use the default medium and master stylesheet (besides tablerows.css for coloring every other row).

Thanks,

Robin

The "print" medium of that stylesheet is used for printing topics from the help and the preview. You might have to add those declarations to that medium, too.

Ah. I didn't have any complex selectors in use in my stylesheet and it displays in Flare and online just fine, but I added them for the print medium and it prints correctly now.

Thanks!
