Vertical positioning of bullet images

[phanna]

Hi everyone,

I'm creating new bullet styles for a web help stylesheet. I have images for the bullets in list-style-image and they look correct when i preview topics except that they are place way too high and don't line up correctly with the text. Is there a setting that I'm missing?

Many thanks!
Paula

Depends on the size of your image file for the bullets. How many pixels high is it?

It's 6x6 px.

The default option for positioning images might be to text top or just top. Are you using the HTML-standard ul and li tags for the list, or did you create a custom paragraph tag and use the autonumbering fields to make the custom paragraph look like a list item?

If you're using the ul/li tags, then you might be able to set the vertical alignment property to middle, but I can't remember if that will work on the bullet image or the text of the line item. I don't have Flare running at the moment and can't test it, but you can try it.

If you're using a custom paragraph class, then I'm guessing you're calling a custom span class in the autonumbering field and that span class is what calls the image. If so, then set that span class to have a vertical alignment of middle.

Thanks! I'm not using auto-numbering and tried changing the position of the image but that had no effect. I will keep playing around and let you know if I fix it.

Cheers,
