Positioning of lists

Post by Judith »

I've got a project with a print target and web help target, both of which contain most of the topics in the project, and both of which are delivered to a web server. The project has a further three html help targets, which supply help for three guis on the machine where the software is installed.

I developed the web help first, and altered the list margins to zero so that the bullets or numbers line up with the normal text. However, in the html help, the bullets and numbers disappear unless I put in a margin of 12pts. This gives me an indent that I don't really want in the webhelp.

Can anyone suggest what I can do?

This seems like the perfect candidate for multiple media (mediums) in the style sheet. Look up "Creating Style Sheet Mediums" in the Flare help for more information.

Right now you probably have a Print and a Default medium. You'd create another medium called "HTMLHelp" (or whatever) and apply the 12pts in that medium. Then associate that medium with the HTML Help target.

Thank you so much - I wish I'd seen that topic earlier!
