Hi!

Its just a little thing..
When i open a project and doubleclick an item in the list, the file opens.

IF the file is already open, could we have an option so it does not complain but simply goes to the tab holding the file?

A feature that I just needed was "bulleted list" in the "Label Editor"...is that possible? It seems to be a common feature in "most" but not all editors.

jtarin,

you can use the special characters in the label editor to make a bullet list

Try to write:
• first option
• second option

and see what happens!

See the help for the complete list...

Waldorf thanks I know how to accomplish that by directly editing the HTML, but what I was looking for is to do it within the editor
Davide....I'm not understanding what you mean by "special characters"?

Sorry but I've just seen that the string that I've written has been translated by HTML [2 H:)]

Please see the help on the topic "Label Object"

You should write a thing like this:

&bull; First Bullet
&bull; Second Bullet

This works fine for me until I have a bulleted item that wraps to next line. It looks like this:

? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Is there a way to program line indents all the way through so the text is always to the right of the bullet and never under it?

Don't know if there is at present..MB, but when I only have one or two of these to do I just put something in as a spacer and color it the same as the background.

Sorry there is this option because D.H.E. doesn't use stardard bullet tags (<li>), it creates only a bullet.

In the latest version there is a new property called "Encode HTML chars" that when disabled permits you tu use any type of code in your label so you can embed <li> and <ul> tags into the string.

Hi Graceonline,

A workaround as I use it: Make two text boxes in the first you only put "•" and in the second your desired text. Than you have always your text lined out and your bullets (in you "bullet" box you need an extra "enter" for an empty space between the bullets).

Hmmmm...I hope you know what I mean; it's a bit messy answer [4 :!!:] but it's late here

Succes,

Dr. Bob

Another option is to create your bulleted text and at the place where it lines up wrong for example:
.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxx

you add some blanc space at the beginning of that line and preview in the browser if it is correct and you have added enough space. Then you go to the properties panel on the right and set the Export Type to ExactCopy.

It still may look a bit funny in the editor that's why you need to preview it in the browser but when you finally export the site/page it all looks good.

This is how I do it but I must admit however you work around it it is a bit of a pain in the ...

Long ago I already asked Davide if this could be fixed and if there could be more special characters added to the Insert menu on the Label Properties panel.

He hasn't come around to it (yet?).

Regards,

Martin

If I may add another option.

(Some character charts, give you the alt and numerical value for the symbol sought)
I have printed one out and use it as my reference.

When in the label editor use - (alt zero one four nine) add a space, then type your text, it should give you a bullet and text as below,

? some text
? more text
? more text
wrapped text
? alt 0 1 6 9 (an example)
? alt 0 1 7 4 (an example)

if you have a long line that wraps, add another alt 0 1 4 9, add your space after the bullet, and colour the bullet to white, then you should have a nice left aligned set of text.

Hope this makes sense.

George

With the property "Encode HTML chars" it is possible to insert the HTML code you want into a label object; you can isert tables, images and bulleted lists

Thank you all who contributed your wonderfully creative workarounds. What worked best in the end was downloading the latest upgrade so I could set the new property feature "Encode HTML chars" to false and use HTML. No workaround required. Still, if for any reason you need to leave the "Encode HTML chars" set at true, then the workarounds would be a great help.

As in my other post, I apologize for taking so long to reply. I work on this website sporadically as weekend time permits, and I haven't had any free weekends for quite a while.

I have a minor request too.

Could you add 'recent projects' to the menu to quickly open one of the last 5 (or 10) projects?
