numbered & bulleted list formatting is very limited

[jabc]

Lectora really needs some additional options for bullets and for the formatting for text lists. Currently, there is only one bullet option, a dot. And, the only option for the format is a hanging indent on the second line of any bullet or numbered list. I dislike that format, and prefer the second line of text to line up with the first line of text on the left margin. So I am adding all non-list text first, and then Paste As Formatted RTF from Word for just the bulleted or numbered lists, between the text already on the page. Then, I get the paragraph formatting I want, but sometimes other formatting on the page gets messed up. You have to be really careful about what you paste from Word - just the numbered or bulleted list only.

Are there plans to add other bullet options and other formatting options? This has been brought up at LUC previously and I heard lots of positive rumbling in the audience.

Try using html objects for creating bulleted lists with custom formatting and bullet images. You have to play around with the CSS to get the spacing relatively consistent across browsers, but once you have some styles that work it is pretty easy. You do have to view the page in a browser to actually see the text and fine tune your page layout.

Agreed. We need more different kinds of bullets. Way to hard now.

This issue surfaces with just about every course we develop. We need more bullet and number formatting options in Lectora Publisher.

The suggestion provided by maryword defeats the whole purpose of using Lectora (a user would then need to know basic HTML/CSS programming) So I also cast my vote towards adding different kinds of bullets and hoping Trivantis adds it sooner
