CSS ul li formatting

Question

I have been trying to figure out how to put space in between a numbered list and the text and still have the text wrap nicely under the line above it. I found some script on Stack Overflow that works but for some reason I can only get bullets, no numeric's.

Thanks.

 ul { margin: 0; padding: 50; } /* The wider the #list_wrapper is, the more columns will fit in it */ #list_wrapper { width: 1000px } /* The wider this li is, the fewer columns there will be */ ul.multiple_columns li { text-align: right; float: right; list-style: decimal; height: 30px; width: 400px; } 

 <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <div id="list_wrapper"> <ul class="column-count: 2;"> <li>One: If I knew how to spell the ABC's I would write and write and write and write and write and write and write some more and write and write and write and write and write and write and write.</li> <li>Two</li> <li>Three</li> <li>Four</li> <li>Five</li> <li>Six</li> <li>Seven</li> <li>Eight</li> <li>Nine</li> </ul> </div> </div> </form> 

Answer 1

Change anything ul (unordered list) to ol (ordered list).

CSS becomes:

ol{
margi... }

ol.multiple_columns li{
    text-align: right;
    float: ri... }

HTML becomes:

<ol class="column-count: 2;">
<li>One: If I knew ...</li>
<li>Two</li>
...
</ol>

In order to make the list numbers bold, but not the text, you would change the ol class in your CSS to include font-weight:900; :

ol {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 50;
  font-weight: 900;
}

Then wrap the text of your <li> to include <span style="font-weight:normal;"></span> , like so:

<li><span style="font-weight:normal;">One: If I knew how to spell  ... </span></li>

Without the span returning the text to a normal weight, the number and text will both be bold. BTW, font-weight ranges from 100-900. 900 is the heaviest weight available.
