1932 — Elizabeth Taylor elected Regional Director, AJLA 1934 — Elizabeth Taylor elected Association President 1956 — Jo Morse elected Director of Region VI 1958 — Jo Morse elected Secretary of AJLA 1967 — Combined Regional Meeting of Region VI & VII held in Little Rock 1970 — Sustainers Auxiliary formed 1971 — Jo Anne Riddick elected Chairman of Regional Nominating Committee Outstanding Sustainer Award

Above is a bulleted list in my organizations website. I am attempting to align several bullted points with the text that wrap to a second line - i.e. "1971" Jo Anne and Oustanding to be aligned with one another not aligned with the bullet.

Fairly new to HTML formatting - any help is greatly appreciated.

<ul> <li>1932 — Elizabeth Taylor elected Regional Director, AJLA</li> <li>1934 — Elizabeth Taylor elected Association President</li> <li>1956 — Jo Morse elected Director of Region VI</li> <li>1958 — Jo Morse elected Secretary of AJLA</li> <li>1967 — Combined Regional Meeting of Region VI & VII held in Little Rock</li> <li>1970 — Sustainers Auxiliary formed</li> <li>1971 — Jo Anne Riddick elected Chairman of Regional Nominating Committee Outstanding Sustainer Award</li>

Discussion and Answer

First, you need to use a proper bullet list. In the WYSIWYG editor of TWiki you can select text and press the bullet button. In raw edit you can use the TML for bullets as documented in TextFormattingRules. In raw edit you could also use HTML - consult HTML documentation for details.

Your example:

• 1932 — Elizabeth Taylor elected Regional Director, AJLA
• 1934 — Elizabeth Taylor elected Association President
• 1956 — Jo Morse elected Director of Region VI
• 1958 — Jo Morse elected Secretary of AJLA
• 1967 — Combined Regional Meeting of Region VI & VII held in Little Rock
• 1970 — Sustainers Auxiliary formed
• 1971 — Jo Anne Riddick elected Chairman of Regional Nominating Committee Outstanding Sustainer Award

To your second point, to indent followup lines of bullets you need to either use a definition list, or use some CSS (cascading style sheets) for the bullet list.

Your example with a lot of text in a bullet:

See raw text how this works. Consult CSS documentation for details.
