Hi,

How do you make bullets on a web page and get the words next to them
to appear close to the bullets.

Right now I'm using nvu & the words are about 1 '' on the right from the
bullets & I also need to put some in the middle of the page.

Is there a WYSIWYG program that is good for making bullets or
an online tutorial to show me how to do this.

I cut/pasted this code from another site, but when you use it you should not use all caps...put all the stuff in brackets in lower case.

normal:
<UL>
<LI>dogs
<LI>cats
<LI>people
</UL>

nested:
<UL>
<LI>Cats
<UL>
<LI>Fur
<LI>Claws
</UL>
<LI>Dogs
<UL>
<LI>Lazy
<LI>Hungry
<LI>Loyal
</UL>
</UL>

I'll try it. Do you know of a WYSIWYG web page program that can do this.

WYS is never, ever WYG with the web so don't ever use such programs.

Anyways the distance between the bullets of a bulleted list and the text is best determined by manipulating the margins, like so:<ul style="margin: 10px; list-style-type: disc;">
<li>Equisetophyta</li>
<li>Lycopodiophyta</li>
<li>Ophioglossophyta</li>
<li>Psilotophyta</li>
<li>Pteridophyta</li>
</ul>

I'll bite the "bullet" and learn html code, I just downloaded Amaya from Charles post
and I'll check that out also.

Thanks,
