Suzanne,
The algroup is needed so that the nested and the sdyf on the second line line up at the 3.5mm indent.

The code I am trying to replace is:
source="space.fill,bullet.txt,@2.2mm,1.3mm"
Where it has the space fillaround the bullet. This space around the bullet is significant.
Going back to square one to try to explain what I am doing..... I ran into a problem where I had text not lining up. When I researched it I found something (which I can't find now!) that said when you have more than one usetext the kern-to parameters doesn't always work. I was able to use an algroup to get the first problem on a heading to line up correctly. After making this correction it caused the lists to not line up correctly. The next step as I saw it was to make the lists also use the algroup.
So what the structure can look like is:
list
list item
para with attribute that causes test before conditionally, but also has to put out the bullet
So what it needs to format like is:
**** Conditional text<<< so this a usetext on the para and the bullet is a usetext that has space around it.
* here is the start if the para 3.5mm indented
if the line wraps the first and second line are both at the 3.5mm indent
I hope this spacing lines up in your emails, so that you can get a better idea of my problem.
Thanks for your patience,Ellen

In Reply to Suzanne Napoleon: Ellen,
I don't think algroup is needed. I think the code below does what you want, including handling nested lists. Be sure all charlists and all inheriting categories are coded with inherit="1" (especially indent in this case), and set defaults in the docdesc. Then you can take advantage of inheritance and defaulting, and just code exception cases. Also, keep in mind that some categories, such as leading, first line indent, and presp are ignored unless the charlit contains textbrk startln=1 (block or startline charsubset). Similarly, some categories, such as postsp, require textbrk endln=1.
Good luck!
