--- Comment #2 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #0) > This is hard to understand for users. > To focus on the inconsistency between > a-c) and d-e) in this ticket, we may align the styles and use the same > properties. Are you sure that makes things less-confusing, rather than more-confusing, for users? That is, if the named list styles is noticeably _different_ than the DF/automatic "style", then users know they are not the same thing, and changes to the named style won't affect the lists with the DF. > Historically the default was to use different glyphs and some > indentation. "different glyphs" - I take it you mean different between levels of indentation, right? (If not, please explain.) > Alternatively we may stick to one glyph and no indentation for > the first level given that the bullet itself is a sufficient indicator of > the list. And the level are clearly recognizable with the indentation. I believe that the default, or most-easy-accessible, list style should have the indentation even on level one - not because that's what's most likely to be useful, document-styling-wise, but because it educates the newbie user about the existence of this possible extra indentation. Better that the user dislike it and learn how to remove it, than for the user to develop the notion that only the second level onward has indentation. For the same reason I would have liked for the default toolbar-button-press behavior to be an automatic list style with a different bullet char per level - again to make it clear to the newbie user that they can and should control that. However, the UI currently suggests the list is single-level, and I'm not sure you/us want to change that. > To make the difference between named lists and unnamed more clear I suggest > to rename the toolbar list into "Dynamic list style", for example. What do you mean by "renaming the toolbar list" -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
