Bullets and Numbered Lists

The rich bulleted and numbered lists of Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint are not handled easily by HTML. PowerPoint, for example, even provides bullets that are images. However, the @list style aids in the conversion of complex lists to HTML.

Bullets

If the @list style is supported, the mso-list attribute is used to store list information. The bullet is created with the Symbol font, and fixed spaces of a specified font are used to create the space between the bullet and the text.

Numbered Lists

If the @list style is supported, the mso-list attribute is used to store list information. The appropriate number is written out and fixed spaces of a specified font are used to create the space between the bullet and the text.

PowerPoint Bulleted Lists

PowerPoint can create bulleted lists using images for bullets. If PowerPoint is installed on the machine, the mso-special-format and mso-bullet-image attributes are used; otherwise, a simple Img element is used.
