Subject:space after list items in FrontPage/HTML From:"Phelan, Dianne K" <dianne -dot- k -dot- phelan -at- INTEL -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 19 Jun 1998 17:24:00 -0700

This is not a FP98 quirk, it is how the HTML is interpreted by your
browser. Many browsers display list items with no space between items.
To force space between list items using FrontPage, select the items and
left-align them. This converts the HTML code
from: <li>Widget</li>
to: <li><p align="left">Widget</p></li>
which produces space between the items, as they are now paragraphs and
all browsers that I know of display space after paragraphs.
If you're coding by hand, all you need is:
<li><p>Widget</p></li>
