Nesting Lists
You can nest lists of the same or different types using the indent and
outdent icon buttons or their keyboard accelerators (Tab
for indent, Shift+Tab for outdent).
The list below is an example of an ordered list that has a bulleted
list nested within it.
-
Ordered item 1.
-
Ordered item 2.
-
Nested bullet item 1.
-
Nested bullet item 2.
-
Ordered item 3.
In Cosmo Create and in many viewers, when you nest lists of the same
type, both the indentation and the character that precedes each list
item change to visually reinforce the nesting. In the example above,
the nested list is indented.
To nested lists:
-
After typing the list item that directly precedes the nested list,
press <Enter> to create a new list item.
-
While the insertion cursor is positioned in the new list item
paragraph, choose a type for your new nested list from the Paragraph
Styles palette in the Palettes menu or from the Paragraph rollover
in the Format menu.
-
To structurally and visually nest the list, click the indent icon
button (the icon button whose arrow points to the right) or the Tab
key.
Alternatively, you can choose Indent List or Outdent List from the
Format menu.
-
Type the text for the first nested list item, then press Enter
to create the next item in the nested list. Repeat this for each item
in the nested list.
-
After typing the final item in the nested list, press Enter
to create a new paragraph.
-
While the insertion cursor is in the new paragraph, click the outdent
icon button (the one whose arrow points to the left) and, if the nested
list is of another type from the original list, choose the original
list type from the Paragraph Styles palette in the Palettes menu.
This creates the next sequential list item in the original list.
