Using RH10, HTML to generate HTML help (.chm file).  First line indent for bullet incorrect:

Using the ruler in design view, and the indents appear to be correct:

Hi,

Remove the text-indent property from the style. You may need to amend the margin of the paragraph as well, otherwise you'll have a rather large indent from text to paragraph.

(text-indent only sets the indent for the first line of a paragraph.)

Hi William:

I removed the text-indent property, and here is the generated result:

updated generation.jpg

The following issues are now present:

  • The hanging indent for the second line is way off - how do I fix that?
  • It appears the bullet character has moved.  I base this conclusion on the paragraph that follows the bulleted line.  This paragraph should line up with the text in the bulleted line (for example, the word 'The' should line up with the word 'Open').

The CSS now looks like this:

Any suggestions???

Still not very good screen shots, here's a copy of the HTML from RoboHelp:

face="Arial" size="2">To create a single operator operation:</font></b></span></h3>

<?rh-list_start class="rl-p-BulletedList" an="1" level="1" style="list-style: rh-list;

     list-style: rh-list;" ?><p class="BulletedList"><span

  style="font-family='Times: New Roman;"><a href="javascript:BSSCPopup('../Banner_Links/Open_Operation_Area.htm');"

             id="a2">Open</a> the operation

area and select </span>New &gt; Single Operator Operation.</p><?rh-list_end ?>

<p class="BulletedListPara">The operation header tab appears.</p>

HTML Output:

It looks like this is a project created before Rh8 when the CSS was written in a different way. The basic difference is that definitions that were in the paragraph style are now in the list style, where they should be.

Take a look at http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/lists/lists.htm on my site.
