Create a new list
1 In the Dreamweaver document, place the insertion point where you want to add a list, then do one of the following:
• In the HTML Property inspector, click either the Bulleted or Numbered List button.
• Select Format > List and select the type of list desired—Unordered (bulleted) List, Ordered (numbered) List, or
Definition List.
The leading character for the specified list item appears in the Document window.
2 Type the list item text, then press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh) to create another list item.
3 To complete the list, press Enter twice (Windows) or press Return twice (Macintosh).
Create a list using existing text
1 Select a series of paragraphs to make into a list.
2 In the HTML Property inspector, click the Bulleted or Numbered List button, or select Format > List and select the
type of list desired—Unordered List, Ordered List, or Definition List.
Create a nested list
1 Select the list items you want to nest.
2 In the HTML Property inspector, click the Blockquote button, or select Format > Indent.
Dreamweaver indents the text and creates a separate list with the original list’s HTML attributes.
3 Apply a new list type or style to the indented text by following the same procedure used above.
Set list properties for an entire list
1 In the Document window, create at least one list item. The new style will automatically apply to additional items you
add to the list.
2 With the insertion point in the list item’s text, select Format > List > Properties to open the List Properties dialog box.
3 Set the options you want to define the list:
List Type Specifies list properties while List Item specifies an individual item in a list. Use the pop-up menu to select
a bulleted, numbered, directory, or menu list. Depending on the List Type you select different options appear in the
dialog box.
Style Determines the style of numbers or bullets used for a numbered or bulleted list. All items in the list will have
this style unless you specify a new style for items within the list.
Start Count Sets the value for the first item in a numbered list.
4 Click OK to set the choices.
Set list properties for a list item
1 In the Document window, place the insertion point in the text of a list item you want to affect
2 Select Format > List > Properties.
3 Under List Item, set the options you want to define:
New Style Specifies a style for the selected list item. Styles in the New Style menu are related to the type of list
displayed in the List Type menu. For example, if the List Item menu displays Bulleted List, only bullet options are
available in the New Style menu.
Reset Count To Sets a specific number from which to number list item entries.
