Handling lists
As of version 1.0.15, the PWStyleHTMLField class offers improved support for
working with lists in text.
One change is a new ListDelimiter
property that lets you define a tag users can type within < and
> symbols to mark the beginning of a list. At the end of the
list, users can enter a "/" and the ListDelimiter character(s)
within the "<" and ">" tag markers to mark the end of the
list. The effect of this is to render HTML with proper list
indenting.
Another change is that bullet points typed in text are converted to
"li" entities when rendered as HTML, thus producing bullet points
in HTML output.
Try previewing this text to see the effect of using bullet
points and the list delimiter property.
Important things to remember:
- The default ListDelimiter property is "bl" (short for
bullet list)
- You can set the ListDelimter property to anything you like
other than an existing HTML entity (e.g. don't use "b" which is the
tag for Bold)
- Enter only the delimiter characters for this property –
not the "<" and ">" tags
- This means users can enter more familiar bullet characters
instead of having to enter HTML entities ul and li to created
bullet lists
- This only supports unordered ("ul" in HTML) lists
- Users can still add ordered lists or even unordered lists using
HTML tags
- PWStyleHTMLField converts
all bullet characters typed by a user when rendering HTML, whether
or not they are within ListDelimiter tags (but not all viewers
display them outside of list tags)
