Enhanced paragraph widget for bullet lists and numbered lists
Dear Peldi,
some time ago I contacted you concerning bullet lists and numbered lists with correct indentation for multi-line list items. I believe that this feature would also be interesting for other users and you are probably already thinking on a solution.
I would like to provide you with a suggestion how to realize both kind of lists. My suggestion is to enhance the paragraph widget by adding two new buttons for bullet lists and numbered lists (see attachment). The user can now select from 5 different formating options (1. left text alignment, 2. centered text alignment, 3. right text alignment, 4. bullet list, 5. numbered list). Line breaks in the paragraph will result in a new list item. The advantage would be that there is no need to change the paragraph's text (by adding characters like 'o', '-' or '#' at the beginning of a line in order to indicate a new bullet item).
Best regards
Ruben

Inappropriate?(adding image from Ruben)

Inappropriate?I'd like to know what people think about this idea. The other option would be to parse out "* " and numbers-followed-by-a-dot at the beginning of a line of text in a regular paragraph control and display them accordingly that way. I think I favor this option because it allows for "mixed" paragraph, where some of the text is normal and some is bullets, but I like the simplicity of Ruben's idea.2 Comments

This is one of the best points

What about using wiki format parsing in paragraphs? eg Trac uses " *" for UL and " 1." for OL and so on -
-1 on Trac syntax for me. The extra space doesn't serve any purpose, IMO. I think the Markdown syntax is much nicer:
`*`, `+`, or `-` for UL, `1.`, `2.` for OL. -
Inappropriate?+1 for supporting markup such as Markdown syntax. It would be in keeping with the "rapid" part of the application.

Inappropriate?+1 for markup idea, especially as this is already used to a limited degree within the app already. -
Inappropriate?I sometimes need to have a bullet list in my mockups. Someone suggested adding bullets and formatting to the paragraph component. However I wonder if it is best suited for the list component. Its a bit painful to create such a bulleted list manually. So here is my proposal.
Any takers?

Add bullets to the list component....
I’m wondering what people think.
