Ordered lists and ADE

dynabook · 01-26-2011, 02:53 PM

I have been using an ordered list for formatting in an epub. I have the items numbered as upper-case roman. However the numbers are crowding the left margin to the point of disappearing into the margin. If I put an indent on the items it still doesn't move the numbers.

The viewer in Sigil doesn't have this issue, just the Reader Library and the Reader itself, so I assume it is an ADE problem.

My question is - Can I overcome the limitation by formatting the ordered list somehow? Or is it a limitation?

try adding the following to the css - then try altering the #%

li{margin-left:3%;}

That did it. Thank you Perkin. I guess when I set one of the attributes it over-rode all the defaults.
