Things are slow so I'll use the dead air to make a suggestion for improving bulleted lists in the HTML pane. As I've mentioned before, I use the HTML pane extensively, so I'm interested in making improvements in the formatting options.

In many notes, I like to use an underlined note header, followed by a bulleted list. When I do this in InfoQube, it always adds an extra 2+ line spaces between the header and the first item in the list (see attached example). I haven't been able to find any way to adjust this.

I'd like to have the option to create a bulleted list below the header without any extra line spaces being added. If I want extra space, I can add it manually.

This is not just an aesthetic issue. I sometimes have many bulleted lists in the same HTML pane. Navigating up and down these lists is more cumbersome if there are a lot of unnecessary line spaces in the notes.

For your consideration....Wayne

I don't use the html pane so I'm not sure if this will help. Have you tried SHIFT+ENTER?

Thanks for the suggestion. When I do that, it puts both lines into the bulleted list. I want to keep the heading separate.

You can do it by editing the HTML code. In the <STYLE> section add:

UL {margin-top: 5px;}

To do the same for numbered lists, add:

OL {margin-top: 5px;}

If you want all new documents to behave like this, open a blank document, make the change and do Menu > File > Save as default

HTH !

OK. I've got to be honest and say I probably won't do that because I don't like fiddling with HTML code. I end up wasting a lot of time instead of getting work done.

My argument, which you can accept or not, is that the default should be no extra line space, and let the user add the extra space if he wants it. That way everyone gets what they want.

In a blank item edit the HTML code and replace it with this:

<HTML><HEAD>
<META content="InfoQube 0.9.26Pre-Rel32" name=GENERATOR>
<STYLE> body {font-family:Sans-serif; font-size:11 pt;}
table {font-family:Sans-serif; font-size:11 pt;}
P {margin: 0px, 0px, 0px, 0px;font-family:Sans-serif; font-size:11 pt;}
UL {margin-top: 5px;}
OL {margin-top: 5px;}
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY style="MARGIN: 2px; ZOOM: 1" bottomMargin=0 bgColor=#ffffff leftMargin=2
topMargin=2 rightMargin=2>
<P> </P></BODY></HTML>

Then do Save as Default. All new items should now have bullets like you asked.

Thanks for that. I tried it and it did reduce the spacing somewhat but there's still a gap. I'd like to understand what I'm doing so I can gradually get comfortable making format changes myself..

I presumed the line space is controlled by "margin-top: 5px". I tried changing this to 4px, 3px and all the way to 0px but I didn't see any difference in the line spacing. What am I doing wrong?

Setting 0px gives you no gap. I've tried it...

The heading just above the bullet is normal style ? Or are you using a heading style ? (i.e. the new shortcuts Ctrl+1...6)
