Deleting the bullet from the list deletes character before.

Question

Editor application reads MSword doc into HTML format. All lists ( new paragrafs with bullets in a begginging in Word file) are read as

“<li>+ contentString+”</li>”

On the interface the text is displayed in text area and when user is deleting the bullet from list, caret skips the bullets and delete the character preceding it.

Please help.

Answer 1

In html the bullet symbol is a piece of decoration for the items in the list not the part of list item's text. Therefore it will show up as long as there is an item in the list and cannot be deleted with backspase or del.

You can remove bullets by applying additional css (list-style: none will do the work).
