Thanks Joe.

But I'm not that familiar with HTML, as I have always used FP to do web pages. If you could spare a few minutes by showing me some code that would do what I need I would be in-debted.

you need to familiarise yourself with html lists (<ul><ol><li>) and some
css.
if you use properly formatted lists and nested lists you can style them with
css - which the article i posted explores at length.

quick eg:

<style>
ol {
list-style-type: decimal;
}
ol ol {
list-style-type: lower-alpha;
}
</style>

<ol>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2
<ol>
<li>item a</li>
<li>item b</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>item 3</li>
</ol>

Thanks Joe,

But how will your answer help me with my question? I need to "push" the item in (b), from my example, across to the right so that it lines up with the item in (a). How is that achieved when, at the moment, the (a) & (b) lines are not lining up?

Thanks.

if a & b are in an ordered list they will always line up - show me your code
and maybe i can help further.
