I use manual style for links (blue, bold, underline.) When all the items in a list are that style, the bullet points inherit the colour, which is fine:
However, when I publish the help to HTML (Web Help), it also inherits the underline, which looks awkward:
I've started working around this by adding spaces after the hyperlink with the usual list format. However, this becomes a little cumbersome, since I have to do them one at a time. Is there an easier way to work with this?
Thanks!

Re: Bullet Points Adopt Underline Style
Hi Jacob,
This is actually a feature, not a bug. The formatting of the bullets and numbers in lists (color, bold, etc.) is controlled by the formatting of the LAST character in the FIRST item in the list. For example, this allows you to make a list with bold numbers by adding a single space to the end of the first list item and formatting it bold.
So what is happening in your case is the last character in your list's first item is underlined, and so all the bullets are as well. To fix this, add a single space to the end of the first item in the list and manually remove the underlining for that space. That will fix it for the entire list.
