  • How do I indent Text with Bullets

    Posted 13 years 11 months ago
    • Hey all, I've researched indenting text with bullets and I've found the answer for bullets;
      <li> text <li>

      However, I'm unable to find the HTML code for INDENTING TEXT and BULLETS ?

      I was wondering if someone knows what I should do for this ?

      Any help appreciated

      Joomla 1.5.23
      Template; Zephyr

    • Hi, you can accomplish this effect with CSS. You have to apply a left margin or padding to your li tags, HTML alone will not do it in this case.

    • I'm not a webmaster, just trying to format a article for my website. There's got to be an easier way than what I'm doing. See pic totally wrong.

      I tried downloading that JCE Joomla editor but it didnt download in a zip format, so I didnt want to risk installing something wrong. Also, I dont know HTML and or CSS.

      Is the JCE Editor going to help me if I get that installed. Will it automatically format my articles, indent and bullet ?

      Ok, thanks for your input and time.

    • I understand. Unfortunately, HTML can be unforgiving when it comes to spacing issues. The JCE Editor is just a souped up version of the regular editor, it may not help you, you can do what you need with the regular editor.

      If you want to try a basic HTML / CSS code to provide the spacing you are after here is a simple way: Either click the HTML Button or the "Toggle Editor" to go into HTML mode, you will see your content with the HTML tags. Find your opening <li> tag and replace it with:
      <li style="margin-left:40px;">
      Do that on every opening <li> tag - you can change the number 40 to whatever you like if you need more or less. Give it a shot.
