I’m using Freeway’s styles, not an external stylesheet, and I want to edit the default bullet spacing and can’t figure out how to do it.
I have four bulleted paragraphs and my line spacing is at 120%. All the paragraphs are evenly spaced at the 120%, but, I want there to be more space between the bullets, because the look all run together. When I set the space before and after to, say, 15px, it looks good on the regular text, all separated nicely. Once I click the indent, it goes right back to the regular 120% spacing. It’s only an issue with the indented items. Otherwise, I can adjust the spacing all I want.
Dan, thank you so much. That closed up my bullets perfectly. I also
added margin-top:5px and margin:bottom:5px, and they are now spaced
apart just how I want them.

You’d set the line-height of the bullets by creating a new style and
adding this:
#name-of-div li { line-height:20px }
You’d then have to replace it with the name of the HTML box and then
target only list items in that using the “li”
To add this into Freeway you’d create a new Style in the CSS Palette
and then in the TAG field enter
#name-of-div li
That being whatever the HTML item name is along with “li”…and then
make sure the NAME area is empty and then select “Extended” and add:
name: line-height
code: 20px
Then change it to whatever line-height you want and it’ll target any
list items within that HTML item and give it the proper line-height.
Resurrecting this thread, I have a similar problem. I’m mainly concerned with the space between listed paragraphs (space after). Is that what the “margin:bottom:5px” is?
Yes, Bob, that would change the space before and after (top and bottom). You add that in the same place where Dan’s instructions say to add the line-height, in Extended.
Select the style you made for your bullets and right click to edit it. Click on Extended (upper right) and enter in the name area:
margin-top
and in the Value area:
5px
or whatever number you want. Or, margin-bottom in the name area, if you want the space to be at the bottom of each bulletin. Or, add both.
