I'm not sure if the problem is my ignorance about CSS or RoboHelp styles.
I have a multi-level list where the first level uses numbers and the second level uses letters. For example:
1. Step 1
a. Substep a
b. Substep b
2. Step 2
3. Step 3
c. Substep a
d. Substep b
4. Step 4
I want the sublist under Step 3 to start at a. I created these really nice styles that look beautiful (List-Number-1 and List-Number-2), but RH clearly treats each item associated with each style as a giant list. When I try to right-click and choose Bullets and Numbering, it says that the list restarts at 1, but that particular item obviously did not get the memo.
When I look at the HTML, I expected something different. I expected to see <OL> tags, but I have something unfamiliar to me. Here is what the HTML looks like:
<?rh-list_start class="rl-P-List-Number-1" an="1" level="1" style="list-style: rh-list; list-style: rh-list;" ?><p class="List-Number-1">Step 1</p><?rh-list_end ?>
<?rh-list_start an="1" class="rl-P-List-Number-2" level="1" style="list-style: rh-list; list-style: rh-list;" ?><p class="List-Number-2">Substep a</p><?rh-list_end ?>
<?rh-list_start an="1" class="rl-P-List-Number-2" level="1" style="list-style: rh-list; list-style: rh-list;" ?><p class="List-Number-2">Substep b</p><?rh-list_end ?>
<?rh-list_start class="rl-P-List-Number-1" an="1" level="1" style="list-style: rh-list; list-style: rh-list;" ?><p class="List-Number-1">Step 2</p><?rh-list_end ?>
<?rh-list_start class="rl-P-List-Number-1" an="1" level="1" style="list-style: rh-list; list-style: rh-list;" ?><p class="List-Number-1">Step 3</p><?rh-list_end ?>
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-P-List-Number-2" style="list-style: rh-list;" ?><p class="List-Number-2">Substep a</p><?rh-list_end ?>
<?rh-list_start an="1" class="rl-P-List-Number-2" level="1" style="list-style: rh-list; list-style: rh-list;" ?><p class="List-Number-2">Substep b</p><?rh-list_end ?>
<?rh-list_start class="rl-P-List-Number-1" an="1" level="1" style="list-style: rh-list; list-style: rh-list;" ?><p class="List-Number-1">Step 4</p><?rh-list_end ?>
Is there something I can do to force the list to restart numbering in the middle?
This was a project that was created in RH 9 and is now being edited in RH 12, if that should make a difference.
