Tried searching the forums for “styling custom fields” but nothing is coming up.  But that’s exactly what I’m trying to do.  How would one go about creating a custom field that outputs to a css list or anything else for that matter?

Thank you for any help!

I might not be fully understanding the question - but typically you create the custom field to hold content and then in your template code surround the field name with markup:

<div id="style">
{custom_field}
</div>

or

<span class="style">{custom_field}</style>

or

<h2>{title}</h2>

For lists specifically there is a list maker plugin that reads a custom field and translates carriage returns to list markup.

In that case you’d have something like:

{exp:list_maker}
{custom_field}
{/exp:list_maker}

Oh man!  That’s exactly what I was looking for “List Maker module”  I had no idea that existed.  I wonder why I never remember seeing that in the addons section.  At any rate that’s exactly what I need, thank you so much!!

Not a problem.  Typically if you need content programmatically styled a certain way there is a plugin for it..😉

Devot-ee.com is a great place to keep an eye on too.

Glad to see Boyink was able to help. Please don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
