VFE how to do bullet ?

cc96ai

Maybe this is dump question, but I have to ask

How could we do the bullet into VFE ?


i try to type a multi-line in VFE and click on Number Bullet icon. however it displays only "1" , and it wont display 1,2,3,4...

no matter how I try, it only displays "1",
unless i do it in words , then copy back

so is it normal in VFE ?

I think to have understood where is the problem. VF is quite buggy when you paste text or html from another editor (i.e. notepad), for the simple reason that, when you write something in VFE, it applies some additional formatting to entries.

In this specific case, when you enter the lines from within the editor, it normally adds a p tag around any line. When you select lines after, and apply the numbered items button, it works fine because VF knows there are different lines, delimited by the paragraph tag. When you paste the text from the clipboard, however, you don't have the html tags, so VF will interpret the block as a single line: that is why you experience the single numbered item problem.

This three methods will do the work:
1) Click on the numbered item button, then insert the lines one by one, directly in VFE;
2) Enter the lines in VFE, then select them all and click on the numbered item button;
3) Enclose each line into a html paragraph tag before copying and pasting the block
from another editor.

Of course, you can play with the VFE configuration files to find if there is another possible solution, or by adding your own custom javaScript events to the customevents.js file.
