Guide: Numbered list nested within bulleted list
AnsweredHI,
In Guide, I have a section in an article where I'd like to nest a numbered list within a bulleted list. e.g.
- Making an omelet:
- Pour olive oil into saucepan.
- Crack eggs.
- Pour eggs into saucepan.
- Light burner.
- Cook until ready.
- Pouring water.
- Setting table.
- Eating.
This scrubbed list was copy/pasted from my article, with a blank line added after the first bullet point which I removed.
I created the inner numbered list by clicking on the Numbered List icon when at the 2nd bullet point level and it seems to work.
But - wondering if I just got lucky and if I'm trying to do something not officially supported in Guide articles and would come back to bite us if we made further revisions.. Thanks to much for reviewing this question.
Best,
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
The editor can be tricky when trying to do this without html. If you use the source code, you can use this where you need it.
<p>Will this do the trick?</p>
<ul>
<li>one bullet</li>
<li>two bullet</li>
<ol>
<li>Step One</li>
<li>Step Two</li>
</ol>
<li>three bullet</li>
</ul>Your result is this:
Hope this helps!

Hey, Melody,
Thanks for your response.
As you indicated that the editor can be tricky w/o using HTML, and I'm not comfortable modifying the source code, I took a step back and manually numbered the inner level of the list (by pressing SHIFT-ENTER before each line and typing in the numbers. e.g,
- One Bullet
- Two Bullet
1) Step One
2) Step Two - Three Bullet
To anyone reading this post, please do not take the above as an endorsed or verified solution, it was an on-the-fly method that I thought might work.
Best,
Stephen
