[en] List Styling (PDF)

[en] For PDF outputs, use a PDF Layout to style your lists and procedures. Each PDF Layout has a Lists category that contains subcategories. There are subcategories for General (applies to all lists), Unordered lists (bullet lists), Ordered lists (numbered lists), Simple lists, and Procedures.

Close-up of PDF Layout editor's Lists settings. There is a Lists category with General, Unordered lists, Ordered lists, Simple lists, and Procedures subcategories.

[en] We recommend that you start by styling the General list settings. Then use the other subcategories to style the specific types of list, such as procedure and unordered list.

Tipp

[en] When styling lists, it is a good idea to create a test topic that contains each type of list. Then use the preview feature in the Layout Editor to see the effect of any changes. In the Layout editor, select Choose document and select your test topic. When you make a change to a list setting, select Save and then Update preview. The preview will show the effect of the change you made.

[en] For details on the preview feature, see Vorschau einer PDF-Publikation im Layout-Editor anzeigen).

PDF Layout Editor. There are callout boxes around the preview area, the Choose document button and the Update preview button.

[en] Layout editor. The highlighted frames show where you can load a topic and preview any changes you make.

[en] To learn how to style the different types of lists for PDFs, see:

[en] PDF Layouts have General list settings that apply to many types of list. For example, if you set the spacing in the General list settings, the same spacing will apply to ordered lists, bullet lists, and procedures. The idea is that you set your General preferences for all lists and then use the other subcategories to define the settings for each type of list.

[en] To set your preferences for all lists:

  1. Wählen Sie im oberen Menü Layout aus.

    Paligo editor. The Layout option in the header menu is highlighted.

    Paligo zeigt eine Liste von Layouts an. Die Liste ist leer, wenn keine benutzerdefinierten Layouts in Ihrer Paligo-Instanz vorhanden sind.

  2. Wählen Sie das PDF-Layout, das Sie für die Veröffentlichung verwenden möchten. Alternativ können Sie auch ein neues erstellen (siehe Ein Layout erstellen).

  3. [en] Select the Lists category and then select the General subcategory.

  4. [en] Set the amount of space above and below each list. This spacing applies to entire lists, not the list items inside the lists.

    [en] Use:

    • [en] Margin before list blocks to set the amount of space above each list

    • [en] Margin after list blocks to set the amount of space below each list.

    [en] For both settings, enter a value that is relative to the body font size, for example, 1.5 to add a space that is 1.5 times larger than the font size. Do not include units of measurement, enter the value only.

  5. [en] Set the amount of space above and below each list item in lists that have normal list spacing.

    Element attributes panel. The orderedlist element is selected. It has the spacing attribute with the value set to normal.

    [en] Use:

    • [en] Space before list items in normal lists to set the space above each list item

    • [en] Space after list items in normal lists to set the space below each list item.

    [en] For both settings, enter a value that is relative to the body font size, for example, 1.5 to add a space that is 1.5 times larger than the font size. Do not include units of measurement, enter the value only.

  6. [en] Set the amount of space above and below each list item in lists that have compact list spacing.

    Element attributes panel. The orderedlist element is selected. It has a spacing attribute and its value is set to compact.

    [en] Use:

    • [en] Space before list items in compact lists to set the space above each list item

    • [en] Space after list items in compact lists to set the space below each list item.

    [en] For both settings, enter a value that is relative to the body font size, for example, 1.5 to add a space that is 1.5 times larger than the font size. Do not include units of measurement, enter the value only.

  7. [en] Choose your preferred behavior for the Space-after (optimum) for paragraphs inside list items or procedure steps setting. By default, this setting applies to block elements inside a list item or step, with the exception of the last block element. For example, if you have a step that contains three paragraphs, the space-after will apply to the first and second paragraphs, but not the third. This is for compliance with the XSL FO specification.

    space-after-apply-selected-space-after-property.png

    [en] List on the left has space after third paragraph inside a list item. The list on the right does not have a space after the third paragraph.

    [en] Use the Apply selected space after property for last block child elements in lists setting to control the behavior.

    [en] Choose:

    • [en] Enabled to apply the space-after (optimum) to all block elements inside a step or list item, including the last block.

    • [en] Disabled to keep the default behavior, where the space-after (optimum) does not apply to the last block inside a step or list item.

    • Standard – um den Wert für diese Einstellung aus dem Basislayout zu übernehmen. Das Basislayout kann ein von Paligo bereitgestelltes integriertes Layout oder ein anderes kundenspezifisches Layout ein. Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter Layoutbeziehungen – Basis, Neu, Duplizieren.

  8. [en] Set the preferred amount of space after paragraphs and other block elements that are inside a list item or step. Enter the amount and its units of measurement in the Space-after (optimum) for paragraphs inside list items or procedure steps field. For example, 0.6em.

    Anmerkung

    [en] By default, Paligo does not apply the spacing after the last block element inside the list item or step. To change this behavior, set Apply selected space after property for last block child elements in lists to Enabled (see previous step).

  9. [en] Set the Left margin for list blocks. This is an indent to move the list in from the regular starting position. Enter the amount and include the units of measurement, for example, 3em.

    A paragraph that is left-aligned followed by a list and another paragraph. The list is indented on the left by 5em. There are two-headed callout arrows to highlight the indentation of the list.
  10. [en] Set the Font family for list titles. This is the style of lettering for each list's title element.

    [en] Choose a typeface from the list of available fonts.

    Anmerkung

    [en] The effect of font-related settings, such as weight and style, varies depending on the font family.

    Anmerkung

    [en] By default, lists do not have a title element, but you can add one manually if required (see Elemente hinzufügen ).

  11. [en] Set the Font size for list titles. This is the size of the text in each list's title element (if a title element is in place).

[en] You have now defined the default settings for lists. If you want different styling for each type of list, define that styling in the Unordered lists, Ordered lists, Simple lists, and Procedures subcategories. Any settings you define in those subcategories will take priority over the settings in the General subcategory.

[en] When you use this Layout to publish to PDF, Paligo will apply your choices when it creates the PDF output file.

Über das Attribut role können Sie Breite und Ausrichtung von Listenbeschriftungen für einzelne Listen ändern. Auf diese Weise können Sie die Standardeinstellungen für Layout-Editor überschreiben.

Wenn es Unterlisten haben, erben diese die Breite und Ausrichtung von der übergeordneten Liste (können jedoch durch das Attribut role überschrieben werden, wenn notwendig).

Anmerkung

Das Element qandaset verfügt ebenfalls über Beschriftungen, die die Ausrichtung erben, wenn es eine Vorgängerliste gibt.

Es erbt jedoch nicht die Breite, da die Breite der Listenbeschriftung für das Element qandaset eine komplexe Logik verwendet, um die Breite abhängig von Typ, absteigenden Beschriftungen und mehr festzulegen.

Sie können die Standardausrichtung oder -breite für das Element qandaset im Layout-Editor nicht festlegen. Sie können jedoch mit dem Attribut „role“ Ausrichtung der Beschriftung für ein einzelnes quandaset-Element festlegen: role="label-align:end;".

So legen Sie die Listenbeschriftung für eine einzelne nummerierte Liste fest:

  1. Wählen Sie das Topic oder die Komponente im Content Manager aus, um es/sie im Editor zu öffnen.
