Hi Friends,
I've done a bit of searching for this, but I can't seem to find the answer. In writing tutorials, I need to make complex lists. For example, I might start with steps 1, 2, and 3. Then I start a different numbered list for a, b, c, and d. (3a, 3b, 3c and 3d)
But now I come back to the main steps, where I need to start the next list at 4. But if I start another numbered list, it starts with 1.
Is there some way to start a list at any number besides 1? Or will I have to just avoid using the numbered list bbcode, and just format and type the numbers myself?
Thank you very much ;D
The WYSIWYG editor can't do this, but you can do it if you toggle the editor into source mode and use raw BBCode.
[list type=decimal]
[li]one[/li]
[li]two[/li]
[li]three
[list type=lower-alpha]
[li]first[/li]
[li]second[/li]
[li]third[/li]
[/list]
[/li]
[li]four[/li]
[/list]
Result:
Oh I see....
Well I'm a little confused. Because even in wysiwyg mode, you still see the bbcode for lists. But you're saying that I still need to switch to the source mode, to write the list codes properly?
Ok, I will experiment and see what happens.
Thank you very much!
SCEditor, which is the JavaScript code package that SMF uses for WYSIWYG mode, does not provide a way to create nested lists in WYSIWYG mode. It will, however, respect nested lists if you create them in source mode.
Thanks, I got it to work perfectly!
