For cascading:
{QUOTE "¶
"{IF BkMrk1 <> 0 "Cascade 1A¶
Cascade 1B¶
"}{IF BkMrk2 <> 0 "Cascade 2A¶
Cascade 2B¶
"}{IF BkMrk3 <> 0 "Cascade 3A¶
Cascade 3B¶
"}{IF BkMrk4 <> 0 "Cascade 4A¶
Cascade 4B¶
"}}
For nesting:
{QUOTE "¶
"{IF BkMrk1 <> 0 "Nested 1A¶
Nested 1B¶
" {IF BkMrk2 <> 0 "Nested 2A¶
Nested 2B¶
" {IF BkMrk3 <> 0 "Nested 3A¶
Nested 3B¶
" {IF BkMrk4 <> 0 "Cascade 4A¶
Cascade 4B¶
"}}}}}
In both cases, format the ¶ appearing after the 'QUOTE' statement as a non-bullet paragraph with a 1pt font and 1pt less leading or
trailing space than a standard bullet paragraph.
Cheers
