Hi folks
I need to create a page containing two columns (similar to example Chap1007
in the sample code) which contains terms and conditions you would commonly
find on the reverse of a delivery note or order. These terms need to be
ordered i.e. list items which are numbered for ease of reference.
The sample code below illustrates what I am trying to achieve and shows that
when you add a Phrase to the ColumnText object all List formatting is lost.
Please help.
Thanks, Andrew

document.top()-25, 15, Element.ALIGN_JUSTIFIED);

outerList.add(new ListItem("Outer list item 1"));
List innerList = new List(false, true, 15);
innerList.add(new ListItem("Inner list item 1"));
innerList.add(new ListItem("Inner list item 2"));
outerList.add(innerList);
outerList.add(new ListItem("Outer list item 2"));
return outerList;
}
