Numbered lists don't really work

[Francois 11]

Hello,

In the text editor, numbered lists work that way:

1. Subject 1
   1. Subject a
   2. Subject b
2. Subject 2
   1. Subject a
   2. Subject b

etc.

 

Is there a way to make them work that way:

 

1. Subject 1

a. Subject a

b. Subject b

2. Subject 2

a. Subject a

b. Subject b

 

or anything similar?

 

As I use Evernotes a lot for notes taking, this is slightly annoying...

 

Thanks!

Nope,  sorry - Evernote's editor is very basic and due for a revamp,  but we don't know if, when or by how much any individual features might change.  Meantime the only option is to take notes in some other app that handles lists correctly,  and cut/ paste into Evernote.  Or use bullets initially and switch to numbers later..

We're working on it!

An Evernote "it's getting there"!  You'll be banned from the herd...

In addition to the numeric lists, it would be wonderful if the bulleted lists had more options, first and foremost, by not forcing a new paragraph whenever a bulleted list starts.  Second, similar to other word processing programs, other bullet appearances such as dashes.

With EN Windows 5.0.3.1559 (269559) I frequently get these "buggy lines" appear in the numbered list feature. where a number appears at tab stop 0 AND a number appears at tab stop 1.

Hard to shake.  Also the GUI actually "overlaps" the characters when I try to out-tab to fix it and finally clears the GUI glitch when I reopen the note.

1. 
   
   1. buggy line
      
   2. aaaa
      
   
   
2. bbb
   
   1. cccc
      
   
   
3. ddd
   
   1. ddd

Hey Jim, thanks for posting. This is a Mac thread, but either way, you should see improvements to list handling on both Mac and Win in the coming releases.

Of course - the numbered list thing would be great. And while you're at it - simple line sorting of lists.

Has there been any progress with the numbered lists in terms of what Francois was referring to?

 

I realize these messages are 7 months old, but I am just now starting to take more extensive notes with Evernote and would appreciate more options in terms of numbered lists.

Thank you!

What you see is (for the moment) all you get...

We are currently hard at work on this.

Jackolicious, any updates on this? I'm having similar problems as other users.

[Jackolicious 808]

Have you tried our latest betas?

hey jackolicious, i have evernote 6.0.5 for Mac. Was this problem fixed in the latest version? I'm having the same problem as these other users.

I'm putting a plug in for this feature. As a note taking device, primarily, this seems like it should be pretty up there at the top. After all, despite what our English teachers in high school thought would happen, many of us grownups DO outline stuff.

 

 

Thanks so much!

This is a very old thread. The number list overlap issue no longer occurs.

 

Closing this thread but feel free to open a new one. Thanks!
