[Le Basque]

Hi,

Is it possible to change the bullet LI tags for levels two, three etc..
Currently whatever the level is the same bullet

Thank you

Hi,

Your request is not clear. Do you want to change the marker for list items of an unordered list from the default character, which is a bullet, to a different character? Where do you want to change it: in Oxygen Author editing mode, in PDF output, in XHTML output, etc?


Regards,

No i want to change the marker for different level of imbrication list.
I found a solution :
I calculate level of ul and define variable in en.xml for differente level

Code: Select all

<variable id="Unordered List bullet L2">&#x25AA;</variable>

<variable id="Unordered List bullet L3">&#x2023;</variable>

Thank you

I need to do the same thing. I found the section in en.xml to select the Unordered List bullet variable, but how do you select a different variable for each level?

Code: Select all

    <xsl:template match="*[contains(@class, ' topic/ul ')]/*[contains(@class, ' topic/li ')]">

        <fo:list-item xsl:use-attribute-sets="ul.li">

            <fo:list-item-label xsl:use-attribute-sets="ul.li__label">

                <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="ul.li__label__content">

                    <fo:inline>

                        <xsl:call-template name="commonattributes"/>

                    </fo:inline>

                    <xsl:call-template name="insertVariable">

                        <xsl:with-param name="theVariableID" select="'Unordered List bullet'"/>

                    </xsl:call-template>

                </fo:block>

            </fo:list-item-label>



            <fo:list-item-body xsl:use-attribute-sets="ul.li__body">

                <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="ul.li__content">

                    <xsl:apply-templates/>

                </fo:block>

            </fo:list-item-body>



        </fo:list-item>

    </xsl:template>

This distinction is not made in the DITA PDF transformation. You will need to customize that DITA-OT\plugins\org.dita.pdf2\xsl\fo\lists.xsl stylesheet file to handle also nested ul/li/ul/li elements. I recommend adding a new template like the following for the nested ul/li/ul/li structures:

Code: Select all

  <xsl:template match="*[contains(@class, ' topic/ul ')]/*[contains(@class, ' topic/li ')]/*[contains(@class, ' topic/ul ')]/*[contains(@class, ' topic/li ')]">

    <fo:list-item xsl:use-attribute-sets="ul.li.ul.li">

        <fo:list-item-label xsl:use-attribute-sets="ul.li.ul.li__label">

            <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="ul.li.ul.li__label__content">

               . . .

You should start from the following file with your DITA PDF customization:
