Spacing and bullet points in Rise

Hi, Bailey.

I have a question. How do you make a bullet point in Rise?

Hi Fernando! Check out Justin's post here. That should point you in the right direction!

Hi, Alyssa.
When I use the Unicode character Alt+2022 I get a µ (mu) instead of a * (bullet).

Hi Fernando! Did you follow the steps in Justin's Peek video here? I was able to copy the bullet from the FileFormat.Info website just as Justin did, and paste it into a Rise text block. 

Hi Alyssa. The problem is that I don't get the text like example 1 but like example 2.
Maybe someone knows how to do this in HTML. Thanks.

Hi Fernando, 

It looks like you might have responded via email and attachments won't appear here in the forums. If you want to visit this page you can upload the images so that folks can take a look! 

Hi Fernando, it looks like you may have replied via email, and your images didn't come through. Could you click here to open the forum thread, then attach those images using the ADD ATTACHMENT button?

Hi Ashley, Alyssa, here are the attachments. I understood, there is a roadmap for the text editor.

I'll wait for this.

Ah, now I understand what you mean, Fernando. Thanks for those screenshots! We do have additional text editing features on our roadmap, so stay tuned!

Sorry for the late reply, I didnt get any notification to my email for some bizarre reason! I will try and limit the amount of points where possible and eagerly await the text editor. Thanks everyone!

Sorry I missed your post. I can see that the girls already replied :)

That's ok Bailey. Thanks for popping back in when you had the chance :)

Hi all,

I'm also looking for the same solution to Bailey's bullet point issue. Bullet points should really align all text vertically, not wrap underneath the bullet point for second and subsequent lines.

Is there a solution to this? I've tried many ways but no luck, and it just looks messy :(

Hi there, Damala.  I agree that it makes more sense for the text to be aligned.  I'll make sure this is on our radar for future iterations of the text editing features in Rise.

We'll let you know if there are any new changes to support that alignment!

Everybody probably already knows this, but since I don't see it mentioned I'll just go ahead and say it: The bullet formatting provided as standard part of Blocks via the List options line up beautifully.  

Granted, that doesn't help with sub-bullet issue.  And that does require you to alternate in and out of the List option rather than simply to bullet in-line in text.  So +1 on the text editor improvement requests, eventually.  

But the Blocks-provided lists are pretty darn good looking when their use is feasible.

Thanks Crystal, look forward to it.

Thanks Chet, agree but also would be great for the bullet point formatting feature to work in text blocks, accordions, tabs and pre-build lessons such as timelines.

Look forward to an update or a workaround for this :)

How do we adjust the line spacing? 

Shift + Enter will stack your text right under the next line instead of breaking it up into a new paragraph 

Thanks Bailey, just wondering if this will then cause gaps in text when viewing on different screen sizes (text wrapping)?

We've hacked the code to get them aligning perfectly on desktop view but on some mobile screens getting second and subsequent lines aligning a little to the right. Still better than before! 

Ahh I see what you mean. I'm not too sure as I haven't tested that just yet. 

Hi Damala, 

Yes, I think the "shift+enter" would cause you some display changes based on how the content is going to wrap. 

Crystal did share the bulleted text alignment with our team as a feature request - so we'll keep you posted on that here!

Is there anyway to alter the line spacing in Rise?  It appears that some elements have single spacing like the sub-bullets.  While other text elements have larger line spacing like 1.5 or double spacing.  I'd like to try and keep this as consistent as possible and have my course set to single line spacing, but I'm not seeing an option for this.  

Hey Jeff,

Line spacing in Rise is set to double spacing for new paragraphs and single spacing for bulleted lists by default. I can definitely understand why you'd want to have greater control over line spacing though, so I'd be glad to pass along this idea for you! Thanks for letting us know what you'd like to see. 😊
