Trying out the Beta...
Is there any way to create a long unordered list so as to avoid typing them in one line at a time?
If we have text copy in MSWord and wish to copy and paste a block of bulleted text, it seems not possible except to do this one line at a time. It is cumbersome to do this amount of work if the text copy has been provided already typed by a client.
Has anyone found a quick way to do this?

I would be inclined
1. to make a newly named copy of the MSWord file;
2. to select the bulleted list in that new file, and edit it in MSWord to remove the bulleting (which is done in one go for the whole list);
3. cut and paste the (now non-bulleted) list into a text-to-html list converter (such as at http://w3docs.net/tools/convert-plain-t … html-list/);
4. put the results of that converter into an HTML element in RSD.

I would be inclined to use Notepad or Textpad instead of MSWord. Word and the other Office programmes have a tendency of adding some code of their own.
Ha en riktig god dag!

Thanks Frank and Inger.
It is good to know about that tool to create code for unordered lists quickly.
I have yet to master placing the unordered list in a HTML element in RSD. (I am familiar with it in Form Builder.)
I guess there will be little typographic control doing it that way. But I will have a look and see how it will work.
Thanks.

I did a simple search in Bing and found this, I will probably use it myself now too haha.
Just copy the text you want in the list putting each list item on it's own line. The default has an Unordered list which is the typical people use, and it has it set to read all new lines as a list item. Add your list items and hit generate and enjoy! Nice little tool I think. Glad you asked that question

Thanks Jo,
You also found a tool that does the same as the one Frank suggested above:
http://w3docs.net/tools/convert-plain-t … html-list/
At least with two of them we will always have one working if the other goes down!
However, for all the tools do, it would only take a few mins to create a macro to do the same inside a word processor or spreadsheet.
The bigger issue is placing the UL inside RSD and being able to adjust the typography and spacing without having to re-type the list. Such a feature may come in due course...

Adjusting the styles is done in the CSS when you style it and give it a new or extra class name. You would then use that same class setup of other lists that you want to look the same.
