You can put the following variables within the <Dict> node of the EditorialConfig configuration file. For instructions, see Adding or overriding variables in your EditorialConfig.

Find the actual values of such variables in EditorialConfig item in EdAdmin4, the Application Configuration > Client Applications, searching for EditorialConfig. The data is common for all titles in the system.

Should you need to specify different values of variables for different typographies, look for instructions at the Typography-dependent overridable variables.

Variable	Type	Comment	Default value
bulletsMenuChars	String	Bullet characters string. Bullet characters appear as normal font, but indeed are referred to the font, specific in the style pointed by sBulletString1 global variable. Must have the same number of members as bulletMenuLabels and correspond to the meaning of labels.	"l,n,m,o,3,4,F,G,H,I,J,p,q,r,u,v,â,ã,ä"
bulletsMenuLabels	String	Bullet menu entries. Must correspond to the bulletsMenuChars, ie. to have the same number of members and that the meaning of labels corresponds to the characters specified in bulletsMenuChars. See also globBullFnt and globBullInd.	"Black round,Black square,White round,White square,Tick,Tick bold,Diamond filled,Diamond hollow,Star filled,Star hollow,Star circle,White square shadow up,White square shadow down,White square shadow up light,Romb,Four rombs,Arrow 1,Arrow 2,Arrow filled"
globBullFnt	Integer	inline bullet font number - enter the font number of your Zapf Dingbats font.	"201" in 1.4 and earlier, "0" in 1.4.1510 and newer
globBullInd	Integer	default indent for hanging bullets - adjust to your styles.	"8535" in 1.4 and earlier, "0" in 1.4.1510 and newer
sBulletString1	String	bullet tag name - In a style library linked to all the formats (typically the J style library) must exist a hidden style with the tag name as defined here.	">pbullet<"
sNumberString1	String	numbering style tag name	">pnumber<"

Note

Since build 2064, the InsertBullet system script checks if the globBullFnt passed by the ToggleBullet script supplied the correct value: if the value is 0, it means the EditorialConfig doesn't contain it and then it cannot work - you must add the appropriate line to the EditorialConfig, e.g.

If the line exists, but it contains a value that is not a valid font, the error message is displayed.
