Text box ordered lists (i.e. bullets)

How can I setup ordered lists to use letters, roman numerals, etc. instead of the two formats that are available (i.e. solid bullets and numbers). It appears that these two formats are the only ones allowed?
I’m looking to set up dynamic content to display the company’s EULA, Terms of Service, and other documents. These documents have different bullet formats which do not seem to be supported by the WiX editor, and any attempt to import a CSV with this information correctly formatted winds up being disregarded by the importer and the numbered format is used instead.
Basically, instead of

  1. Item one

  2. Item two

  3. Item three

I want
a. Item one
b. Item two
c. Item three

or
i. item one
ii. item two
iii. item three

Consider uploading these docs as PDF files.

I’ve tried that, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to display a PDF, only download it.

4

Also, if uploading a PDF is the only way, how do I get a direct link to that file?

@bdavis If you have a EULA and TOU then I’ll assume you have a premium account with a url of your own.
Then you have to ways to display a PDF:

  1. add an htmlCompenent and in the page code write: $(“htmlComponenet1”). src = “address.pdf”;

  2. I think you can add an app for PDF display from Wix app store;
    To find the file address, look for it in the media manager (there’s a small menu next to each file there).

This is not the only way, but it’s the easiest way imho.

@jonatandor35 Yes, I have a premium account. I found the link and that worked well.
Is there a similar way to link to content in the web page itself? For example, say we have five main sections to our main page. Is there a way to create a link to the fourth section that we could give out to others that provide a quick link for others to use? The type of example that I’m used to would be something along the lines of
mywebsite/main_page.html#section_4

@bdavis Do you mean to add anchors and link to them?

8

@jonatandor35 Yes. But not linked to within WiX itself. Say I wanted to email another person a link to a very specific part of my site.

@bdavis maybe you can do it with anchors (I don’t have time to check it). But for sure you can use query parms like this:

link format: mysite.com?s=section2

and in you page code:

import wixLocation from 'wix-location";
let query = wixLocation.query;
$w.onReady(() => {
if(query){
$w("#" +  query.s).scrollTo({"scrollAnimation": false});
}
})

@jonatandor35 That’s pretty neat. Thank you! You’ve been most helpful.

you’re welcome. happy to help :slight_smile:

We kinda lost track of my original question. What is the reasoning behind not allowing other types of bullets?

13

@jonatandor35 Man… I so wanted this to work. Unfortunately, {“scrollAnimation”: false} does not prevent scrolling. I saw another post where you were trying to see if it was possible to prevent the scrolling animation. This method, if it worked at one time, is not working for me. :slightly_frowning_face:

// scrollTo doesn't take any parameters according to the API.
$w("#" +  query.s).scrollTo({"scrollAnimation": false});

So, after some digging, it seems that wix-window does allow the scrollAnimation option. That would easily do the trick, but I cannot figure out how to get the required x and y position of the element to pass to the function.

PDF is the easiest way for legal formatted docs, but you can use whatever bullet type you want, if you add them with the corresponding html tag.
For example:

$w("#text1").html =`<ol style="list-style-type: lower-roman;">
  <li>Apple</li>
  <li>Banana</li>
  <li>Orange</li>
</ol>`;
