hi, I’ve been having a look at the  
[Textism: Tools: Textile](http://textism.com/tools/textile/index.php) web page and can’t seem to  
find a  
way to apply a class to a list. I understand normally it would be

p(rss). hi =

hi

but why doesn’t this work?

\*(rss). hi =

- hi

any ideas…?

thanks, josh

Josh,

when I use:

\*(example) A first item

- A second item
- A third

I get:

- A first item
- A second item
- A third

Which is what I think you are after. Drop the “.” and it should work.  
I just tried this out at both Textism and in Radiant.

Another really great resource for Textile formatting comes from \_why  
for the Hobix blog thing he wrote. It is a bit more in depth that  
textism, and it all applies to the Redcloth library.
