[reportlab-users] Bulleted list

[Jim Steil]

Hi

I'm having a heck of a time trying to get a bulleted into my PDF.  I 
want the following:

    * This is my test text. After the first line, the rest of the text
      should wrap and indent and subsequent lines.  Assuming you are
      using an HTML-enabled reader, this should be a good example.
    * This is my second bulleted point.

I've tried setting the bulletFontName, bulletFontSize and bulletIndent 
in the style applied to my paragraph, but I'm obviously missing 
something important.  Instead of it not working, it is all just blank.  
It doesn't print anything.

In my paragraph text, I'm using the <bullet> and </bullet> tags to show 
that it should be bulleted.  Here is a sample of what I'm doing:

     styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
     style = styles['Normal']
     style.fontName = 'Arial'
     style.fontSize = 12
     style.leading = 16
     style.bulletFontName = 'Arial'
     style.bulletFontSize = 12
     style.bulletIndex = 25

     bullet2 = Paragraph('<bullet><b>Have an expiration date '
                                'specific to the additive.</b>  This '
                                'information is supplied by the product 
tag '
                                'or additive addendum tag.  To comply with '
                                'FDA guidelines, the supplement must be 
fed '
                                'before the expiration date.</bullet>', 
style)

     reportStory.append(bullet2)

My other paragraphs are working fine.  Just having trouble with the ones 
with the <bullet> tags in them.
