  • 1.  HTML Portlet: Bullet Point

    Posted Dec 19, 2014 07:51 AM

    Hi all,

     

    Sorry for such a novice question given the audience, but is there some quirk with creating bullet points in a HTML portlet? I can add symbols in place of regular bullet points, but an unordered list (regular bullets points) doesn't seem to work for me. The list appears, but the bullet points themselves don't appear.

    It's always best to provide a SSCCE for questions like this. Having said that, I'm guessing that your css is suppressing the "bullet points".

     

    This should render 2 bullet points.

    <html>
     <head>
     </head>
     <body>
          <ul>
               <li>hello</li>
               <li>world</li>
          </ul>
     </body>
</html>

    Hi Andrew,

     

    Thakns for the feedback. I tried that HTML all by itself and it didn't produce the bullet points. I have attached the code and a screenshot of the result.

     

    I didn't add anything, I just copied and pasted your exact code.

    You need the HTML number code for bullet which is  &#8226; so it would look like this:

    <html>

      <head>

      <title>Sample </title>

      </head>

      <body>

      <h1>Clarity Announcements</h1>

      <p>&#8226; Hello</p>

      <p>&#8226; World</p>

      </body>

    </html>

    Hi Chris,

     

    That works. We use that numbering scheme method currently, but knowing #8226 is ignorance on my part.

     

    Prior to this I was using the number for arrows #8680 in place of bullet points. Instead of using the number method, I was wanting to try the unordered list method.

     

    Thank you both for your feedback today. It's appreciated. This works!
