Formatting lists


    You can format paragraphs as numbered, unnumbered, or definition lists, and create hierarchies within the lists. The list options include Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, letters of the alphabet, and different types of bullets. For definition (or glossary) lists, you can format paragraphs as the term or the definition of the term.

    Tip iconWhen using cascading style sheets, first format your paragraphs of text using a default list format in the Type > List menu, and then use a style sheet to enhance the bullets or numbers. (See Creating HTML element styles.)

To format paragraphs as a list:

  1. Select the paragraphs that you want to format.
  2. Choose a list option from the Type > List menu. Or, choose an option from the context menu, or click the Numbered List button Numbered List button or the Unnumbered List button Unnumbered List button on the toolbar.

To format the hierarchy within the list:

  1. Select a paragraph in the list.
  2. Choose Increase List Level or Decrease List Level from the Type > List menu. Or, use the context menu or buttons on the toolbar.
  3. When you apply the Decrease List Level option to a paragraph that's at the first level in the hierarchy, GoLive resets the paragraph to a plain style.

  4. Choose a list option from the Type > List menu to assign a different leading character to the paragraph.
