Take the following code and paste it into the editor in HTML mode...

<html>

<head>

<title></title>

<style type="text/css">

OL LI {LIST-STYLE-TYPE: upper-roman;}

OL LI OL LI {LIST-STYLE-TYPE: upper-alpha;}

OL LI OL LI OL LI {LIST-STYLE-TYPE: decimal;}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<ol>

<li>Test...

<ol>

<li>add sub bullet after this item...

</li>

<li>it most likely got formatted with an "A" and not a "1"<br />

<ol>

<li>It should have been a 1 like this line</li>

</ol>

</li>

</ol>

</li>

</ol>

</body>

</html>

Flip back to design view and it looks great. Then in design view add a sub bullet to bullet A. It will be formatted with an "A" instead of a "1" that the css style defines. But, if you switch back to HTML view and then back to Design view the formatting is correct. Am I doing something wrong or is this a known issue?

Hi,

Yes, this is an expected behavior. The Indent button (which fires a browser command) which is used to insert a sub bullet produced the following non XHTML compliant content:

<OL>
<LI>Test...
<OL>
<LI>add sub bullet after this item... </LI>
<OL>
<LI>new sub bullet</LI></OL>
<LI>it most likely got formatted with an "A" and not a "1"<BR>
<OL>
<LI>It should have been a 1 like this line </LI></OL></LI></OL></LI></OL>

When you switch to HTML mode, the ConvertToXhtml filter of RadEditor corrects the content and it becomes:

<ol>
    <li>Test...
    <ol>
        <li>add sub bullet after this item...
        <ol>
            <li>new sub bullet</li>
        </ol>
        </li>
        <li>it most likely got formatted with an "A" and not a "1"<br />
        <ol>
            <li>It should have been a 1 like this line </li>
        </ol>
        </li>
    </ol>
    </li>
</ol>

For this reason there is a difference how the bullets are rendered.

Hi, I was trying to follow that link to check up on the status of this bug and I am getting an error that says: "It seems there was a problem with our server" when I get to the PITS page.

I know that PITS is in beta so things like this happen. I just wanted to bring this to your attention and also ask what the title of the entry was so I could search for it and track its status.

Ive been having a lot of problems with semi-complex ordered/unordered lists (anything with a style or that is more than one level deep) in the radeditor and would love to see these issues resolved.
