I'm trying to figure out if there is solution that allows me to style some bulleted lists with a different background colour. There are basically two styles of bulleted list, and I need to toggle between them. The <ul /> needs a class to do that.
Using an RTE stylesheet I don't appear to be able to achieve this. I might end up adding a block inside my RTE, which I don't love.
I'm sure this used to be possible by setting the stylesheet selector as ul.green but this wraps an additional <ul /> around my original one. Just .green puts <span />s inside my <li />s.
D: All the tricks I knew to get it to work do as you describe, or will create a ul with no li tags inside it so enter key just creates new uls but no li.
This is incredibly annoying as many clients want two-columned lists so there has to be a reliable way to apply a class to the list and not each individual list item :(
But now that seems impossible outside of having a ul.class wrapping the actual ul and then requiring non-technical users to go into code and clean it up or they get flagged for improper markup. Or creating a block just for a simple list I suppose. Seems a bit silly when all you need is to apply a single class.
Sorry I don't have an answer for yah David. Just adding a voice to the need for something like this to work. Key being for non-technical users. Can't expect everyone to go in and play with markup.
