Lists provide a way to structure content visually by grouping related items together. Bulleted lists are used for items that are grouped together but with no specific order. Numbered lists are used for items that must be grouped in a numerical order. You can create lists using these tools on the Web Page Editor - Appearance toolbar.

After inserting the first bulleted or numbered list item, pressing the ENTER key creates a new item at the same level. Use the Increase Indent and Decrease Indent icons to promote and demote list items to create a multilevel list. Different list levels may appear with different bullet or number formats depending if the web page links to a style sheet and its styles. The list level style is applied when you promote or demote the list item. You can change the bullet or number type for the list item using the Properties dialog box for the item.

 

In new web pages that use content defaults, numbered lists take the font style and size set for new web pages or in immediately preceding text if different from the default settings. However, you can change the text formatting and apply other bullet or numbering types after creating the list. You cannot change the size of the list bullets or insert custom bullets in the Web Page Editor. This must be accomplished by using a style in the style sheet. 

 

Note: You can use styles to format bulleted and numbered lists. The Standard style sheet includes bulleted styles and numbered styles, but they are not set as default styles, so you can only apply them to text already tagged as a bulleted or numbered list. To apply one of these list styles in the Web page Editor, you must first create at least one line of the list in your web page using the Insert/Remove Numbered List or Insert/Remove Bulleted List icons; this identifies the text as a list element. Then you can click in the list and select a list style from the Styles list on the Web Page Editor - Font and Formatting toolbar. You can use the list styles in the Standard style sheet as formatted, modify them, or copy them and use them as the basis for new list styles.
