[oXygen-user] Working with Subject Scheme Maps as Nested Lists

28 Jan 2014

      I'm experimenting with using subject scheme maps to capture outlines of
subjects as part of some training planning I'm doing.

To facilitate this I've whipped up a little CSS style sheet that renders
the subject definitions as a bulleted list items.

However, I don't get any collapse/expand handles in the edit view--I would
really like to be able to expand and collapse the list in the main editor
window (rather than using the outline view).

Is there a way to do this through the CSS?

Here is the CSS as I've got it so far:

/* CSS to show a subject scheme map as nested lists*/

subjectdef {
    list-style-type: disc;
    display: block;
}

subjectdef > topicmeta {
  display: list-item;
  margin-left: 12pt;
  margin-top: 12pt;
}

subjectdef > subjectdef > topicmeta {
  display: list-item;
  margin-left: 24pt;
}

subjectdef > subjectdef > subjectdef > topicmeta {
  display: list-item;
  margin-left: 36pt;
}

subjectdef > subjectdef > subjectdef > subjectdef > topicmeta {
  display: list-item;
  margin-left: 48pt;
}

subjectdef > subjectdef > subjectdef > subjectdef > subjectdef > topicmeta
{
  display: list-item;
  margin-left: 60pt;
}

shortdesc {
  display: block;
  margin-top: 1em;
  margin-left: 12pt;
}
/* End of CSS */

Thanks,

Eliot
