Hi folks,
I am currently expanding the Psion importer with bulleted paragraphs.
Though I actually have got it working, it is mostly black magic to me.
Perhaps somebody who is into lists can explain some things to me, or
refer me to some documentation or mail conversation about this?
Concrete questions at this moment are:
* Where do you define the kind of bullet is used for the paragraph?
Is it the numeric type attribute of the <l> tag, or is it hardcoded to
coincide with the style name? And in both case, would it not be
nicer to be able to define any character for bullets?
* What does the list-delim attribute do? It is found in both the
<l> tag and in the props attribute of the <p> tag. And why is it
sometimes in both and sometimes only in the <l>?
* How does the list-decimal attribute work? It is often set to "NULL".
I presume it has something to do with numbered lists?
* What does the type attribute of the <l> tag mean? (see also my
first question).
* I presume the <field type="list_label"></field> actually displays
the field label?
* The <c type="list_label"> tag sometimes spans only a tab, but
sometimes the whole paragraph text. Is this a bug, or has this
some special meaning? And what does this type setting mean?
Thanks,
Frodo
