HTML representation of 'less than or equal to' - not cross-platform?

[Bob Sneidar]

Okay, so to follow through with this, I first took a screen shot of a bullet character, opened it in Preview, erased the white space (making it transparent) and saving it as bullet.png. 

Next I imported the bullet as an image, and set the source of the imported image to the file “bullet.png” (so I could edit it and see the changes in Livecode without reimporting). 

Then I put several lines into a scrolling field where each line starts with a space and a tab. I set the first tabstop to enough pixels to fit the bullet mark. I had to play around a bit but I got it close. 

Finally I have this in the script of the scrolling field:

on mouseUp
   put the hilitedLine of me into theHilitedLine
   set the itemDelimiter to tab
   put the vscroll of me into theVScroll
   
   if the imageSource of char 1 of line theHilitedLine of me is "bullet.png" then
      set the imageSource of char 1 of line theHilitedLine of me to empty
   else
      set the imageSource of char 1 of line theHilitedLine of me to "bullet.png"
   end if
   
   set the itemDelimiter to comma
   set the vScroll of me to theVScroll
end mouseUp


Presto! Voila! Good looking bulleted list that will look the same in Windows and Mac, or any OS!
