I created a multi-level list for various levels of steps in a procedure (each step can have substeps, and substeps can have one more layer of substeps). Each step and substep must have a result, for which I've created a para style.
For example:
1. Step to perform an action
Result 1
2. Step to perform an action
Result 2
3. Step to perform an action do the following:
a. Do an action
Result a
b. Do an action
Result b
4. And so on...
The problem is that after hitting ENTER after Substep a, Substep b automatically appears so I cannot add Result a.
The only way I've found is to go to the HTML view and manually remove the rh_list_start and rh_list_end tags.
Any suggestions?
Hold SHIFT while pressing ENTER. It makes a <br> instead of a <p>.

Thanks. I figured it out a few days ago and forgot to close this thread. My bad.

This doesn't give you the exact results if you have paragraph spacing above or below. I have never thought this was an ideal solution, but there isn't any other, which is why I don't use automatic numbering or bulleting.

You can fix that in your CSS like this for example:
li br{
margin:8px 0px;
}
That will only stlye breaks that are within LI tags.

Thanks. This is a tip I have needed!

Thanks. I noticed the spacing problem but figured I would just have to live with the lesser of two evils.
But now that you mention it...
I created most bulltets in a multilevel list because of various formatting considerations. I found it easier to have one bullet list style and use the tab to position them as needed. So my bullets are not in an LI stye, but rather in a rh-list( _start) style. Any help is appreciated.

Oh, rats. This doesn't work. It shows line spacing in the RoboHTML WYSIWYG editor, but not in a browser or compiled help. Once upon a time, there was a nice "Skip Numbering" feature, but that is gone now.
