I know if I work in the Hero Lab Editor, if I cut and paste, yes the bullet point shows up correctly when viewing (say the Deities from Fantasy Splatbook, etc.)
But I tend to write up my stuff by hand in Notepad++ and even if I make something in Editor first then copy into Notepadd++ HeroLab does not "read" the bullet point correctly. I have tried each of the following to no avail: • ("& # 8 2 2 6 ;" spaced out just to see the code) • • What little documentation covering this I could find seemed to suggest the last of those three should have worked at least. Any suggestions? |

Hmm... I'm not by my copy of the program to try this, but what does the resulting ".user" file look like after working in the Editor?

I think it's either:
Code:
[list] [*]list item 1 [*]list item 2 [/list] Code:
{list} {*}list item 1 {*}list item 2 {/list} Lenny Zimmermann Metairie, LA, USA Data files authored (please let me know if you see any issues with any of these if you have/use them): Official (In the downloader) 50 Fathoms, Deadlands: Hell On Earth, Deadlands: Noir, East Texas University, Necessary Evil (requires Super Powers Companion), Pirates of the Spanish Main, Space 1889 (original file by Erich), Tour of Darkness, Weird War II, Weird Wars: Rome Coming Eventually Evernight (LWD has completed their review but I have some fixes to make first... although Pinnacle mentioned this might get an overhaul to SWADE so I may just wait for that first.

Code:
<thing id="facGOCrafting" name="God of Crafting" description="God of creation, craft, and art, the Smith is popular among craftsmen, but especially venerated by the dwarves.\n\n{b}• Aspect:{/b} Creation, fire, artifice.\n\n{b}• Powers:{/b} {i}Armor, barrier, blast, boost/lower trait, burst, damage field, darksight, detect/conceal arcana, disguise, dispel, elemental manipulation, environmental protection, healing, invisibility, light/obscure, pummel, smite, summon ally, telekinesis, warrior’s gift{/i}.\n\n{b}• Duties:{/b} Work hard, do the best job you can, celebrate creative accomplishments.\n\n{b}• Sins:{/b} (Minor) cutting corners in your work, allowing a work of beauty to be destroyed; (Major) laziness, claiming credit for someone else’s achievements; (Mortal) intentionally destroying a work of beauty." compset="Faction" uniqueness="unique"> <usesource source="Fantasy"/> </thing> As to what it looks like inside HeroLab: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5s6hv8hl78...oints.png?dl=0 Worse case is I just write up this little section in a separate file just using the Editor, but would really like to solve this one should amend this, using: • or & # 8 2 2 6 ; (spaced out just to show) or • means the file won't even load.

Have you tried just pasting the bullet in? I pasted "• Bullet\n• Bullet" into the "description" field for an item in the user file and it displays just fine with the bullets.
Before that, I pasted the bullet into the Editor, then looked at the .user file it generated to verify that that's how they did it. |

I want to say I saw something about doing bullets in the documentation someplace as well. Maybe on the Wiki (http://hlkitwiki.wolflair.com)? But a quick search isn't showing anything for me, but my search-fu might not be up to snoff there. Maybe it was in the help section stuff in the editor, but I can't check that right now to see for sure. I normally use the editor to do things and I'm pretty sure all I ever did with bulleted items were there simply by doing a copy-paste.
If it helps here is were they talk about the formatting codes for things on the Wiki: http://hlkitwiki.wolflair.com/index....e=Encoded_Text Lenny Zimmermann Metairie, LA, USA Data files authored (please let me know if you see any issues with any of these if you have/use them): Official (In the downloader) 50 Fathoms, Deadlands: Hell On Earth, Deadlands: Noir, East Texas University, Necessary Evil (requires Super Powers Companion), Pirates of the Spanish Main, Space 1889 (original file by Erich), Tour of Darkness, Weird War II, Weird Wars: Rome Coming Eventually Evernight (LWD has completed their review but I have some fixes to make first... although Pinnacle mentioned this might get an overhaul to SWADE so I may just wait for that first.
