List

Displays the List sub menu, which allows you to add lists of the following types or format existing text as one of these lists: ordered, bulleted and definition lists.

Ordered List: If nothing is selected, inserts an ordered (numbered) list at the cursor position. If text is selected, formats the selected text as the first item in an ordered list. You can select from the properties box whether the list is numbered with ordinal (1, 2, 3) or roman numerals (I, II, III,), or letters (A, B, C), and whether they are upper case (A, B, C or I, II, III) or lower case (a, b, c or i, ii, iii). You can also select the number at which the list will start, if not 1. Type an ordinal number (i.e. 7), and Web Factory will translate it to the numeral style (i.e. G or VII, etc.) you have selected. Each time you press the Enter key, the next numbered item is added to the list. To indicate the end of the list, click at the end of the last line of the list and press the Enter key twice in a row.
Bulleted List: If nothing is selected, inserts a bulleted list at the cursor position. If text is selected, formats the selected text as the first item in a bulleted list. For the Navigator browser, you can select from the properties box whether the bullets are discs, empty squares, or filled squares. The Navigator default is empty square. Internet Explorer supports only the disc. Each time you press the Enter key, the next item is added to the list. To indicate the end of the list, click at the end of the last line of the list and press the Enter key twice in a row.
Definition List: Inserts a new definition list onto your Web page at the cursor position. A definition list allows you to insert a "term" and then display its "definition data" in an indented paragraph below the term. (This page is an example of definition lists.) It is not necessary to select this option each time you want to begin a definition list, since a definition list is automatically created when you insert a definition term that is not in a definition list. Select this option if you want to insert a definition list inside of another definition list, thereby indenting the subsequent terms and definitions by one more level.
Definition Term: Inserts a new definition term onto your Web page at the cursor position. If the cursor is not inside a definition list, Web Factory will add the list.You can insert as many definition terms in a definition list as you like. Each definition term can contain as many words as you like, and can contain paragraph breaks and line breaks, if desired.
Definition Data: Inserts a new definition data paragraph which appears on the next line following the definition term. The paragraph is indented from the definition term and word wraps with a flush left margin. You can insert as many definition data elements per each definition term as you want. Each definition data can contain as many words as you like, and can contain paragraph breaks and line breaks, if desired. The main effect is to indent the paragraph from the left margin.

Note: This page is an example of how definition lists, definition terms and definition data can be used. Each menu option is formatted as a definition term, and each indented paragraph explaining the menu option is formatted as a definition data element.

Remove list formatting from item: Removes the current item from the ordered, bulleted, or definition list. The text remains on the Web page, but is no longer part of the list. The prior list item, if any, becomes the end of the list. The following list item, if any, begins a new list.
Remove list formatting from entire list: Removes the list formatting from the text and elements in the list. Text and elements remain on the Web page, but are no longer displayed as a list.
