Hi,
Is there a way to set the distance between the items in a list that I can
put in the <ul> or <ol> tag?
I suppose that using margin in the <li> tag will work but the endless
repetition seems to me rather unelegant and a waste of bandwidth.
I don't use a stylesheet file, but want to implement it with "style=" in the
tag.
Thanks,

This can only be done without repetition in a stylesheet. It can't be
done with style attributes on a tag.
li { ... } /* All li */
ul.reasons li { ... } /* All li in a <ul class="reasons"> */
This is why a stylesheet is the best approach.
Is there any reason you can't use a stylesheet file? A second-best
approach is to put an inline stylesheet in the HTML. It's still
unnecessary repetition, though, if it's at all avoidable.

I suggest using a style block in the head element, but why you do not
want to use a stylesheet file when you are concerned with bandwith usage
and elegancy is a mystery to me.
Try this:
<!DOCTYPE ... your doctype declaration ...>
<html>
<head>
< .. your head tags.. >
<style>
li {margin-left: 0.5em;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li>Listitem with 0.5em left margin</li>
<li>Listitem with 0.5em left margin</li>
<li>Listitem with 0.5em left margin</li>
<li>Listitem with 0.5em left margin</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>

You know solution good solution, you know bad solution, and you don't

Hard way, add to each tag:
<li style="line-height:1em;">
Easier way - Add line height or margin to the style tags within the head
tags:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
li { line-height:1em; }
-->
</style>
or
<style type="text/css">
<!--
li { margin-top:1em; }
-->
</style>
Use a stylesheet. It's much easier and changes will be global. What if
you add this list to another page? You'd have to redo this on the new
page.

Why are you using line height? It means space between lines. That
includes also between lines in list item, which is not wanted:
* foobar akdfnlsk fnsrke gre
re esfrks rkesh seht ge
* jdsfbskfzsbvfk
When line-height:2. Better:
* foobar akdfnlsk fnsrke gre
re esfrks rkesh seht ge
* jdsfbskfzsbvfk
This is with margin: 1em 0;
Much better to use margin. (and in case of using line height, it would
make more sence to use it for ul or ol...)

I was just giving options. I've used both, and choose by what gives the
better results.

I have a big website with one stylesheet. This style element is for one
rather small category. I don't think that every exception should be loaded
into the stylesheet.

Don't include the faux "comment" markers if you're trying to write
XHTML.
Even in HTML, this feature is ancient history by now. Browsers were
at least *understanding* how to parse a style element by HTML/3.2 at
the latest (even those which didn't choose to support stylesheets).
The old browser/versions which still would need the "comment" markers
pre-date the introduction of the Host: header in HTTP requests, so
such browsers would be practically useless on today's web anyway.
Preferably, anyway, use an external stylesheet.

Inside that category, and only in the pages in that category, have
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/main-stylesheet.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/category4-stylesheet.css">
Outside the category, just have
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/main-stylesheet.css">
The category specific stylesheet contains the exceptions. If your site
generation tool doesn't let you have a slightly different template for
that section, it's time to get a better site generation tool.
Note that, unless the exceptions are quite large - 5k of CSS or more,
perhaps - you're probably better just putting them in the main
stylesheet.

Why not? That's why you have a stylesheet. Add a class for this list.
<div class="list">
<ol>
<li>item1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
</ol>
</div>
or use <ol class="list"> either way will work
Add to your stylesheet:
..list li{ margin-top:1em; }
Why are you trying to make it more difficult than it has to be?
*saz* <sa*****@nospammersexcite.com>:

ACK.
<div class="list"><ol>(...)
or use <ol class="list"> either way will work
Why the "or"? Why would one add yet another superfluous 'div' just to add
a class?

Old habits die hard. I just automatically add the comments. I can't
remember the last time I put style in the head tags, so I guess I should
erase it from memory.

There is another option:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/category4-stylesheet.css">
The first line in category4-stylesheet.css
@import url(main-stylesheet.css)
all styles in category-4 sheet will override main. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
