alternating list styles
Applying a style to a * list type in textile, I end up styling the ul tag.
Is there a way to specify the list tag? I could easily style away the ul, but that would be semantically incorrect and I don’t care for that all that much.
My goal is to provide a client with the option for styling lists alternately: Ala: <pre>- (alt) hey there
- normal
- (alt) how ya doin?
</pre>
minus the spaces
Any ideas?

These may be of use…

They’re for tables but with a bit of fiddling I think they could work for lists.

Graham,
Thanks.
I am really looking for the textiled option.
Typical: I didn’t explain myself well :)

Re: alternating list styles
Hello Mathew,
You could try…
- This is the first item.
- This is the second item.
- This is the third item.
- This is the fourth item.
Done using spans or with classes or inline styles…
- This is the first item.
- This is the second item.
- This is the third item.
- This is the fourth item.
</pre>
Would that do the trick?

Re: alternating list styles
It would, but it defeats the purpose of making it easy (or easier) for end users.
and, its an inline style, which I prefer not to use.
Thanks for thinking of it though.
Preciate it,
Matthew

Re: alternating list styles
Matthew,
The second styled row in the example I gave above is only using an inline style for the purpose of demonstrating it here on the forum. If you look at the source you can see it is also appending a class…
<pre><code>* %(alt_class) Here is my row.%</code></pre>
It’s pretty simple. If you wanted to get the class on the li itself you’d probably have to hack your client’s textile file.
