I set it back to the "Readable" skin. Which I think is where it was before I screwed things up modifed the default.

You can modify your personal settings to change it to anything you like.

@mark Yes, it’s better. Especially the first page. Thank you!

I do too but any "dark" theme has this issue with the type ahead search popup.

Wait, now it looks different again? The "Readable" skin is still the default, though. @mark (or @Axtremus ), did you do anything?

Is there a way to insert a bulleted list?

I see the little icon to the right of the Italics, but when I select text, it only puts a bullet by the first item. Inserting a CR after each item doesn't seem to matter.

First Item
Second Item
Third Item

=-=-=-=-=

• First Item
  Second Item
  Third Item

=-=-=-=-=

• First Item

Second Item

Third Item

@george-k

• first item
• second item
• third item

Seems to work fine. You have to start each line with a * or another kind of bullet marker. I guess you can also nest.

• first item
  • first subitem
  • second subitem
• second item

[George K]

@klaus what am I doing wrong?

I make the list, then I select all the items on that list and hit the button. Only the first item gets the bullet.

First
Second
Third

[George K]

Ah, you have to select EACH line?

Well, that's a pain.

[Klaus]

Oh, so you are selecting an existing text and want to convert each line to a list item?

Hm.

A "low-key" solution if you really want this would be to select the text, pop up a "search&replace" dialogue (which may or may not require a plugin in your browser of choice) and replace all CRs by "CR* ". If you are a Mac OS command line nerd, use sed.

[George K]

@klaus let me try that....

[jon-nyc]

It looks like you can create a list as you type

• by
• leading
• each
• line

with an asterisk and a space.

A complication would be that you need to know how to "type" a CR into your search/replace dialogue. That's a hard task for old farts some.

^p

?

[George K]

The reason I ask is that in the "retraction" thread, there are 62 items listed, and it would be nice to separate them with bullets, or perhaps number. Adding an asterisk at each item is a PITA.

Paste it into a text editor. Do find and replace for \n or \r and replace with \n* or \r*

[Klaus]

@george-k FIFY.

[George K]

@klaus thanks!

Did you run that through an editor, or is is a change in the way the forum works?

ETA: Through a text editor, I see. Which one would you recommend?
