TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Technically, you're doing the same things as you did with Word styles.
Can you create additional styles in your HTML and Stylesheets? If so, then
you simply assign the style to a CSS class (such as .substep). You can then
define the .substep style in the CSS file, such as:
You could take it further, and assign the class to a regular HTML tag, such
as <li class="substep">. That way, you restrict it only to list items with a
class of substep. In this instance, you can set the stylesheet to
li.substep. One step further, you could restrict the substep to only
numbered lists: ol li.substep, or bulleted lists: ul li.substep.

> Hi All.

>
> I need to get nicely formatted lists in HTML help. In typical technical
> communication, we have steps substeps, and possibly bulleted lists
> nested underneath, or one line of unbulleted text.
>
> I know how to do this using styles in MS Word - but am now working in
> native HTML in RoboHelp (V7).
>
> I have played with the stylesheet and cannot seem to find what it is I
> need to do for the following:
>
> 1. Get the substeps (a, b, c,) etc indented UNDER the first level number
> (nested).
>
> 2. Get the indents aligned neatly under the numbering
>
> 3. Same for bullets etc.
>
> Thanks in advance for any help you can give. I have searched and
> searched, and don't seem to know the correct search term to find what I
> need.
