The bullet/number are the same for different level of bullet/numbered point. A better approach would be use different bullet point for different level.
an example of anytpye bullet point is shown in the first screenshot. and the bullet point i would propose is shown in the second screenshot.
besides, i couldnt find a way to dedent the bullet point. could anyone help? Edit by @sambouwer: resolved in post below.
Hi @satter1988, thanks for sharing your input! Could you please stick to the predefined format for new topics? That helps us more easily identify whether all the required information is available.
Second, I think your idea for improvement of the indented bullets is great! I think all other software applications I know of use different icons for differently indented items in the list to easily identify items on the same level.
Third, I am able to unindent items with Shift-Tab on Anytype for Windows (0.25.4), as is the case for most other software applications. Are you using Windows or another OS?
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?
Custom numbering of lists.
HOW COULD IT BE DONE?
A submenu in text style. Allowing to choose between 1,2,3 a,b,c A,B,C, i,ii,iii, I,II,II (others?) and some other options:
1.
1)
(1)
If possible add an advanced option that accepts a numbering pattern string, similar to what typst accepts:
Numbering Function – Typst Documentation
I just needed to reproduce this:
- Fisrt property
- Second property
In addition to those properties, this one is very important
- Third property.
This is not currently possible, as lists must start at 1.
REAL WORLD USE CASES
Having differences between lists and sublists.
In mathematics i, ii, iii style is usually used in theorems.
RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES
Use plain text instead
The year is 2026. 4 years has passed, but yet this feature (which i considered this to be a basic feature) does not exist , where many other competitive software has it.
