Aligning Numbered Lists Vertically

[r_tgur]

Hello,

I've just started using Scribus and, after watching many tutorials online, I managed to create a document with almost all of the features I needed. However, I am having trouble with a numbered list. I have a list of 35 items that need to be numbered, but I need the text to be aligned vertically, like this:

I can achieve this alignment if I use a bulleted list, but not with a numbered list.

I've tried to do it manually by setting tab stops when editing paragraph styles -> properties -> tabulators and indentation (setting the 1st line indent to -4mm and the intent for the paragraph to 5,5 mm), but it all goes wrong when the list goes from number 9 to number 10:

Is there a way to solve this?
I came across some topics here in the forum that might help, but since the images had been removed, I couldn't understand the possible solutions.

PS: It's the first time I'm posting something here. I tried to attach 2 images, but I don't know if I did it properly. I hope you can see them.

For me, it seems like the case of Hanging Indents. Here is a very short video on the topic (not mine :

To me this clearly indicates there is not enough space for 2 digits before the first tab position.

I think you need to set a tab also at 5,5 mm, it looks as if you have not set a manual tab and then it tabs to the default tab spacing.

Thank you!

It still doesn't work with the automatic numbered list, because I think there is not a way to automatically place tabs after the numbers:

(I'm sorry, I use Scribus in Portuguese, don't know if you'll understand the picture, but it's the style manager window, where I have chosen the "numbered list" option).

After watching the video I tried typing the numbers manually instead of using the numbered list, and it worked! It would be better if I could use the numbered list option instead... Do you know if it is possible and what I would have to do to place tabs after the numbers in this case? If it isn't possible, I will simply do it manually.

Thank you

I think the problem is that I couldn't set tabs after the numbers in the automatic numbered list, like I told sersha in the previous message. I only managed to do it when writing each number manually. Do you know how to do it in the style manager window?

This should have been fixed in Scribus 1.6.2:

- https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=13884
- https://github.com/scribusproject/scribus/commit/7d7fbacce3c27bf3b41a984dd90407653ea69885

p.s.: i've now tested it with 1.6.2 and it (somehow*) works

* i'd wish it would work differently, but as it is now, it seems to work ok with most sane usages...

p.p.s.: it was correctly with up to 9 items... if you have more, it might or not be ok, depending on the result you're looking for.

Hi, thank you. My problem is that I have many items and it all goes wrong when the list goes from number 9 to number 10
But thank you anyway
