hmmm, I think there are several problems here. Some are technical and others are psychological. a) tech) If you want to change the indentation level later, you'll need to touch every line of the text. b) psych) Readers may be confused, because there may be different indent levels, which otherwise look the same. add a) You use it wrong. ** Means "create a nested unordered list". see the docs <https://tiddlywiki.com/#Lists%20in%20WikiText>. There is no error. TW displays, what you told it to do. ... It may be different to what you expect, but that's it. * You miss level 1 text here. <-- that's the error you made. **item 1 no matching"*" Eroniouse dot to left **item 2 The solution is simple: Create a little bit of CSS .tc-tiddler-preview .in, .tc-tiddler-body .in { margin-left: 2em; } and us *.in You miss level 1 text here. **item 1 **item 2 see attached file. ------------------------ Add b) :::*List items indented :::*list Depending on the indentation level you use, your readers will see the difference. .. The problem is, that there is no other difference. eg: - List items indented - List - List items indented - List - List items indented - List So the problem now is. Which list is more important. The one on the left or the one on the right. With a list as above it may be clear. BUT - List items indented - List What happens if there is more text in between. So the question I have now is: "Why is the list below more indented as the list above" Is there a problem with the formatting, or does it mean something. - List items indented - List I personally wouldn't use indented lists that look "like level 1 lists". IMO they only confuse readers. *If we need indentation, it needs to look different AND the difference must have a meaning*. "It looks nicer" *is not* a valid argument, since "taste" is different for every user. Possibilities can be seen at MDN CCS info <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/list-style-type#%3Ccustom-ident%3E> page. -mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
