CMS Made Simple Forums

I'm new to CMSMS and am now adding content to my newly created site (latest software). I'm running into a limitation of ordered lists in the default configuration, in that I'm unable to find a way to generate a nested list in which the sub-items get letters rather than numbers. For example, I might like

1. First item
2. Second item
-> a) first sub-item
-> b) second sub-item

etc. Instead, I get

1. First item
2. Second item
-> 1. first sub-item
-> 2. second sub-item

Is there a simple way to set the desired list format as the default style for nested ordered lists without writing raw HTML or CSS?

If you want that to be the default site-wide, the easiest way would be to add this to your stylesheet: If you want it to be optional for the editor then you'd need to add a style or format option to the wysiwyg editor. The default MicroTiny editor has minimal options by design, so the third-party TinyMCE editor might be a better option as it's fully customizable.

Thank you. I'm new enough to CMSMS that I don't know yet where that fragment would go. Is there already a top-level stylesheet that is loaded by default for all pages? Or do I need to create one? Ideally, it would be one that is preserved through software updates.

Stylesheets are attached to your design in the same way templates are. Layout > Design Manager > Stylesheets.

In Content Manager it will show which template and design a page is attached to. Any stylesheet attached to a design will be loaded by {cms_stylesheet} in the page template. There's more advanced options but that's the basic method.

Worked -- thanks!
