A demo of list numbering restarting in ICE toolbar

A special thanks to Ian Barnes for his feedback about the ICE toolbar. Since the last announcement in August we have made quite a few minor but tricky updates, and thanks to Samuel Knipe we have implemented some of the changes from the feedback received. The most useful recent fix is the fact that if a new list is created that the numbering is restarted.

As most avid word processor users would know if you use style based lists the numbering will keep continuing unless you manually restart it. In Word this is a particular problem as restart/continuing can also affect other lists, we have fixed this and made it easier to correct numbering when the word processor get it wrong.

Changes/fixes for the ICE toolbar

Both OpenOffice.org and Word toolbars

1. list numbering is restarted if a new list is created (see demo below)

2. Short cut for list to restart/continue numbering (esc + r)

3. paragraph (p) demotes to blockquote (bq1)

4. Fixed numbering not turning off if on lists that are not li1

5. Fixed demote/promote failing on i-code

OpenOffice.org toolbar

1. List styles are created when applied if they don't exist

2. When generated heading sizes are relative to h1

Give it a go, you can download the toolbars from the ice site. and as always feedback is much appreciate.

A demo of lists restarting in Word

Here is a demo of the list numbering, a word of warning I am talking but you may need to turn your sound up as the recording volume is a bit low.
