Nested bullets question

One of my testers was wondering if it was possible to nest bulleted items similar to MS Word.
For example if you add a bulleted item hit return, and then tab, a different nested element will appear in the list like:

foo
- bar

Is a similar functionality available in FCKEditor?

Thanks-

Re: Nested bullets question

just answered my own question-it merely involves using the indent/outdent buttons instead of using tab. Once you've used the indent button, you can select the type of list you want, ordered or unordered. If it is unordered and nested, it will automatically choose a different symbol.

w00t!

Re: Nested bullets question

Does anyone know if the bullet elements can be changed? Like swapping out bullets for letters when a list is nested below a numeric list?

Re: Nested bullets question

Wow, FCKEditor does *everything*. I found the option to change the subelements to upper case or lower case alpha characters, as well as roman numerals. Simply right click after adding the sub-element, and select "Numbered List Properties". A pop-up window will list the different options for sub-elements.

Happy FCKEdit-ing!

Re: Nested bullets question

Well wait.. Before this question goes stale, I am wondering the same thing as the original post: how can I use the TAB keys to indent sub-bullets?

I think Firefox2 and IE supported it, but FF3 certainly does not. It's not just in fckeditor, but I've seen it in tinymce (I've not checked latest versions..) and even Gmail.

Hitting TAB used to properly move bullet items but not anymore-- now it dances around the screen in TABORDER. Is this key event no longer able to be captured?

Please advise..!

This functionality was intentionally removed?.. Inadvertently?..
