• I am trying to copy paste some content from my Google Docs which have Alphabetically ordered list.

    Example:
    1. Which is the correct option of question 1?
    A. Quober
    B. Zabet
    C. Finch
    D. Tobler

    But WordPress editor don’t support it and when I pasted the content the list become an normal unordered list marked with bullets.

    It creates problems for some of my site content.

    I will request to the WordPress developers please look into it.

  • If you mean the A, B, C, etc at the start, that’s how lists work in HTML, which is different to Google Docs, Word, etc.

    The way to do it is to set a CSS class name on the list, and use CSS rules to set the list style, in this case to upercase letters.

    Something like this will do the trick.

    ul.alpha-numbers {
        list-style-type: upper-alpha;
    }

    Then you’d add the CSS class of ‘alpha-numbers’ to your lists main tag. If you’re using Gutenberg, this can be done in the ‘Advanced’ section for that list block. If you’re using the standard text editor, then switch to text view and add it as normal.

    @catacaustic thank you for your reply.
    That’s not a solution to the problem. And i know about html and css rules can do the job. But i need to do it manually for each list. Like; i publish 100 questions answers per post day and i need to do the same job 100 times.

    I am requesting the WordPress developers to implement this functionality automatically within Gutenberg editor.
