Is it possible to build an outline style list in FG modules?

I am creating a module for use building a campaign, it contains various items for creating a particular character class. I have done others, but none that have the formatting I am trying with this one.

Basically what I am trying to do is the following:

Item 1
<tab>Item 1A
<tab>Item 1B
<tab>...
Item 2
<tab>Item 2A
<tab>...
Item 3
<tab>Item 3A
<tab>...


I tried everything I could think of with the <list> xml tags, but nothing seems to work like I want it to.

Is there anyway to do that?

I was thinking of using a <table> and make an extra column and leave that blank for the Item 1A, 1B, 2A, 3A, etc., I think this could work if all else fails.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

See the Internal Representation section for info on what tags can be used: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/refdoc/formattedtextcontrol.xcp

You're basically limited to a list for a table judging from what you're asking.

Yeah, I was reading that earlier, but without an example I could not really tell if it was what I wanted. I think a table is probably my best option. Thanks.

I just tried the table, that looks like it will work for what I need.

Couldn't you use bullets to do something similar?

I tried the list tag, and it did not allow for multilevel lists.

I really wanted it to look something like this:



Item 1
Item 1A
Item 1B
...
Item 2
Item 2A
...
Item 3
Item 3A
...


Basically the A,B,C would be indented from the main items. I just used the table tag, and set the first field to be blank.

It doesn't sound like you really want multileveled lists... at least from your example:
Item 1 A
B
Item 2 A
B
Item 3 A
B
Code like this works in FG formatted text.

Hmm, maybe, I could give it a try.
