Making Lists.

Take a look at this screenshot of the insert bar with the text tab selected.

 

 

This toolbar gives you access to ordered or numbered lists (<ol>), unordered or bulleted list (<ul>), and definition lists (<dl>). Just click on your required list item and start typing.

 

1. This is an ordered list.
2. This is the second list item.
3. Third and final list item.

The html code looks like this;

<ol>
<li>This is an ordered list.</li>
<li>This is the second list item.</li>
<li>Third and final list tem.</li>
</ol>

 

• This is an unordered list.
• It's also called a bulleted list.
• Each individual item is called a list item (<li>).
• Both ordered and unordered lists have list items.

<ul>
<li>This is an unordered list.</li>
<li>It's also called a bulleted list.</li>
<li>Each individual item is called a list item.</li>
<li>Both ordered and unordered lists have list items.</li>
</ul>

 

This is a definition list.

A definition list consists of terms and a definitions.

This is a term (<dt>).

This is the definition that goes with the term (<dd>).

The third definition list term.

The third definition list definition.

<dl>
<dt>This is a definition list.</dt>
<dd>A definition list consists of terms and a definitions. </dd>
<dt>This is a term.</dt>
<dd>This is the definition that goes with the term.</dd>
<dt>The third definition list term.</dt>
<dd>The third definition list definition.</dd>
</dl>

 

Finally, have a look at the rightmost icon on the text toolbar (it has 'br' on it).
This icon has a dropdown menu associated with it which allows you to access a number of commonly used special characters. The last option in the drop down menu (other characters) brings up a box with a range of special characters for foreign words etc.
