In the 'bulleted list' object you can specific custom images.

You can also use the listview object to implement lists with images.

Unfortunately I didn't find what I was seeking for.

I wish ✪ instead of the black point in unnumbered lists. This sign is from your list of symbols, not a picture.

How should I go on?

Hi Pablo,

When I klick on "Bullet list" - which I see only in the items listed in the Toolbox on the right side of the screen - nothing happens.

Adding a Bullet list is not different then adding any other object.
Just drag & drop it to work place.

I didn't use this feature before.

It works now.

Thank you.

Hello,

it works, but that's not really what I wanted. It is somewhat laborious. In my old page I had a simple statement in the CSS-File
ul { text color: navy;
list-style-image: url(button.jpg);
}
Whenever I clicked on the list-button in the text menu, I got the defined list style. Is that possible in WBB too?

Any code that works elsewhere, will also works in WWB. However, there is no 'visual' way to implement this code.

You can use the following to add the code. HTML Object Unlike your previous software Nano WWB is not a HTML Editor but a HTML Generator meaning the HTML doesn't exist till published. But with the likes of what I linked to you can you yourself add any code you may need.

This is not HTML. And it has nothing to do with Namo. It is a CSS statement I added manually with a simple editor to my CSS file.

Then if that is the case and you have saved the css generated by the software as a external file then you can open it in any external editor and add the snippet. Note the downside to this is if you then open again in WWB to make changes to the page then css file with the snippet will get overwritten and you will need to add again

But WBB has problems with CSS files anyway. In my neomarica-site there are already 20 (!) CSS files. I have the idea that every publishing let it make new CSS files.

This statement is incorrect.
The software will only generate CSS file is you tell it to do so. it will not generate files that are not needed.

I never told the software to do something in direction of CSS. I never altered the basic settings.

You can control the out format in Tools -> Options -> HTML
I never told the software to do something in direction of CSS. I never altered the basic settings.
What I meant, is that if you do not add any elements to the page then no CSS will be added.
The more elements you add the more code will be generated...

If you need further assistance then please share a DEMO project so I can see what you have done. See also the forum rules.

Hallo Pablo,

I do not need further assistance at the moment. I just made a comment about WBB's weird handling of CSS files. I was used to have one or two for the whole webside. WBB makes one for every page. That's contradicts the idea of CSS.

Have fine holidays!

You can configured how CSS files will be generated in Tools -> Options -> HTML
You can have one file for all global styles or choose to include it in the HTML itself.

Note that there is no way to place all CSS of the entire website in one file because then you will most certainly run into conflicts.
The software has thousands of options and millions of possible combinations with hundreds of embedded third party scripts and functionality. And even more if you install all extensions.

So in my opinion, the behavior is not 'weird', it is logically for an advanced tool like this.

@kantonia,

To me that wouldn't be practical. If I had 100 page website and all of the CSS was in 1 file, each time a page was loaded it would have to load that entire CSS file each time which would be huge. It would be loading css styles that aren't even for that particular page. You can have global styles set up that contains styles on all the pages and then have only the css files for each page. This makes loading of pages much quicker.

It's a question of efficient working. I come from a time when webspace was limited and expensive. My CSS files never were mor than 3 k.
