nested lists

Hi, I'm trying to do nested unordered lists.

I have seen many examples using the bullet &#x2022; but I want to emulated
HTML behaviour for nesting i.e. automatically selecing different bullets:
circle, square etc.

I was wondering whether:

- others have had experience with nested lists and if so what characters
they have used?
- Has it been necessary to change the font size to get these characters to
look correct?
- are they supported in the default font or have they had to use a symbol
fonts like ZapfDingbats?

Any advice would be appreciated

cheers

...john

If you don't want to use yuou own Unicode font,
you should choose from the Symbol font. You can
look into src/codegen/Symbol.xml for (Adobe) names
of characters in the font, and charlist.xml for
their mapping to Unicode code points (write
&#x2660 instead of 0x2660 into the XML source for
checking how it looks like). Look also into the
Unicode character charts at http://www.unicode.org.
