repeated bullets

[behzad]

I know somewhere there is a feature so that now one instance of the bullet will be output, unlike what I have now. Anyone?

Image > Image Name.

Earlier than v16, use Name, filename ="orangeBullet".

I think this is what you are looking for

1. Create your bullet list.
2. Create your bullet and copy it to the clipboard.
3. Select the text, right click and select List Properties.
4. Click either Replace with Symbol or Replace from Clipboard.

No Gary, any image you add in from Clipboard that does not have a declared Image Name is given a Xara number image, each and every bullet.
A symbol from Font Awesome or Material Icons adds a new Font package for the benefit of a single glyph. These are better than images as they scale up nicely.

My suggestion in naming a bullet image replaces the potential hundreds of duplicated bullet images that Xara generates. It is a rerun of the mess Xara throws in for NavBars and HiSlide pop-ups.

The cleanest method is to create a square using the Rectangle Tool and apply the maximum curved corners.
Colour with a Theme Colour. Size to fit and Copy to Clipboard.
Access List Properties and use Replace from clipboard.

Any Shape and Grouping of Shapes that only produce a SPAN as HTML output then embeds nicely, particularly as any individual one can be adjusted and manipulated in Xara and through JS/CSS. No font, no image, sharp bullets.

Thanks my friends but I thought there was a new feature that came with xara recently that eliminated the naming. I have V17, so there must be a new command that I do not need to worry about?

far as I see it naming is a good thing. SEO at its finest. May not seem like does much but I have gone to sites and renamed every image and seen some decent improvements in search engines from that alone.

Yes good for SEO but what good is a name like orange-arrow for SEO?

In this case, it is courtesy to create a bullet, name it and give it a Alt text. Courtesy as Xara creates text that is awkward for screen readers and anything that helps those with visual impairments should be pursued. Commonsense, as naming it ensures it is only published once and so is cached and rendered back to cover as many buttons and you can put on a page. This saves many http fetches that would otherwise take up time and space and, without which, shows up on the page as random appearances as each bullet is rendered as an individual. SEO is a laggard against these more important concepts.

When you replace an image with a SPAN and CSS, you save a fetch and a cache action, have less processing to handle and avoid the semantics of having to explain it is a bullet.

Xara has a long way to go to make its HTML output semantically sensible: proper tables, text and use of SVG would all contribute.

I mean if you don't plan on getting a buncha blind people to your site, for instance, you are a DJ name the arrow Las Vegas Best DJ company or you could name each arrow differently and trust me Google and them pick up on this. It's my version of hidden text without the actual "hidden" text that the search engines hate nowadays lmao

They're blind not deaf......

name the arrow Las Vegas Best DJ company

Or 'Arrow to Las Vegas Best DJ company' just incase you do get bunch of blind people to your site.
