I'm not sure if you're asking how to format the field or how to show
the bullet character. Maybe this will help.
If so could you explain how you did this?
A while back I was experimenting with processing HTML code and
displaying it in fields (more robustly than Rev does natively.) I
came up with the following snippet for replacing unordered list
(<OL>) tags up to six nested levels. I had previously parsed through
the HTML and figured out how deeply the <LI> tags were nested,
temporarily replaced the LI tags with Ln, then replaced those with
HTML encoded strings that included embedded unicode escape codes to
represent the bulleted items in the lists.
-- replace <li> tags with appropriate bullets
put " " into padSp
put "<font face=" & quote & "Osaka" & quote & " lang=" & quote &
"ja" & quote & ">•</font> " into lev1Bullet
put "<font face=" & quote & "Osaka" & quote & " lang=" & quote &
"ja" & quote & ">◦</font> " into lev2Bullet
put "<font face=" & quote & "Osaka" & quote & " lang=" & quote &
"ja" & quote & ">▪</font> " into lev3Bullet
replace "<l1>" with "<P>"&padSp&lev1Bullet in fixedHTML
replace "<l2>" with "<P>"&padSp&padSp&lev2Bullet in fixedHTML
replace "<12>" with "<P>"&padSp&"1. " in fixedHTML
replace "<l3>" with "<P>"&padSp&padSp&padSp&lev3Bullet in fixedHTML
replace "<l4>" with "<P>"&padSp&padSp&padSp&padSp&lev1bullet in
fixedHTML
replace "<l5>" with "<P>"&padSp&padSp&padSp&padSp&padSp&lev1bullet
in fixedHTML
replace "<l6>" with
"<P>"&padSp&padSp&padSp&padSp&padSp&padSP&lev1bullet in fixedHTML
Once all of the replacements were made I set the htmltext of the
display field to fixedHTML.
Kinda ugly, I know, but it was an interesting exercise.
