Issue/Request: 

We have ordered lists:

1. bla bla bla bla bla bla

    a. bla bla bla

    b. bla bla bla

        i. bla bla

        ii. bla bla

I tried to edit the html source code to <ol type=”a”> to display a. b. c…. and <ol type=”i”> to display i. ii. iii…However it doesn’t work. Is it not allowed to use ordered list types other than 1, 2, 3 on YaleSite?

Thanks,

Isabella

Hello Isabella,

Its because you have to switch your editor to “Full HTML”. This will allow you to use those HTML attributes.

Hello Josue,

Thank you for your prompt response. I just tried to use “Full HTML” for my editor but I still get 1. 2. 3. … only. Below is my code. Any thoughts?

Thank you!

<ol>

      <li>Remove or invert the water bottle to prevent dripping/leakage during transport.</li>

      <li>For transporting one or two cages:

           <ol type=”a”>

                 <li>a. Secure the cage lid/top with at least one rubber band (two are recommended).&nbsp;</li>

                 <li>b. Conceal the entire cage(s) completely with a disposable paper drape or equivalent or cover the top cage if a paper bag or thermal bag is used.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</li>

                 <li>c. A single cage may be hand-carried.&nbsp; Hand-carrying of multiple cages is not allowed.</li>

                 <li>d. One or two cages can be transported in:

                      <ol type=”i”>

                            <li>i. a YARC-supplied paper bag (see below)</li>

                            <li>ii. a thermal bag (see 4443.4 below)</li>

                            <li>iii. a plastic carrier (see 4443.4 below)</li>

                      </ol>

                 </li>

           </ol>

     </li>

     <li>For transportation of more than two cages:

          <ol type=”a”>

                <li>a. Place the cages securely onto a stable cart with an appropriate &ldquo;lip&rdquo; (&gt; 1 inch high) around each shelf to keep cages from sliding off should they shift during transport</li>

                <li>b. The cages should be configured in a single layer on each shelf and strapped to the cart.</li>

                <li>c. Ensure that all of the cages are completely concealed with disposable paper drape or equivalent.&nbsp; Use of rubber bands is recommended, but not required, as an additional measure to secure the cage, especially if traversing uneven flooring&nbsp;</li>

          </ol>

     </li>

     <li>Use the Yale Animal Resources Center (YARC) Transport Route Map (located at the exits of all YARC facilities) to find an approved transportation route.&nbsp; Note: All other routes are unauthorized and may result in the transport of animals through restricted patient or public areas.&nbsp;</li>

If you change the Filter Settings in the Filtered HTML WYSIWYG filter, the indented changes to the ordered lists will change.

Configuration >  Content Authoring > Text Formats > Filtered HTML

In the Filtered Settings at the bottom of the page, click on the WYSIWYG Filter. 

Paste the following into the field.

a[*],

img[!src|class|alt|height|width|style|title],

div,p[class|style],br,span[*],em,strong,cite,code,blockquote,
ul,ol[style],li[class],dl,dt,dd,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,table[*],
th[*],tr[*],td[*],thead,tbody,tfoot,strike,sub,sup,hr,caption,pre[*],iframe[*],span[style],

 
In order to get the lists to show with alpha, you will need to start in the FULL HTML view, but then you cas switch to Filtered HTML and not lose what you have created.
