HTML Lists

Post by mgclark »

Does Atlantis have the capability to create ordered lists (enumerated) and unordered lists (bulleted)? For example, when creating a document in Sigil and clicking on the list or bullet buttons, it creates an <ol> or <ul> that creates clean lists when publishing an epub. I guess what I'm asking is if there is a more consistent method for creating lists within AWP such that they appear as an <ol> or <ul> in the epub? This would result in a more elegant output than the current bullet formatting in AWP (where it is recommended you add spaces after the number/bullet).

Atlantis does support automatic numbered and bulleted lists. Yes, it would be preferable to save automatic lists to eBooks as ol/ul HTML elements. But the problem is that not every automatic list from a MS Word document can be saved correctly through the ol/ul HTML elements. Only "simpler" automatic lists from MS Word documents can be saved to HTML in this way. I personally do not know if it would make sense to make a distinction between "simpler" and "more complex" automatic lists in Atlantis/MS Word documents, and save them differently to EPUBs.
