Ah – I think I’m getting it!
So you’d like the list of attributes/tagged values for an Inline element, instead of looking like:

Attribute1: a1 value
Attribute2: a2 value…

To look like:

  • Attribute1: a1 value
    li]
  • Attribute2: a2 value…

Have I understood correctly?

We have a lengthening list of new formatting options, and this seems like a very good addition to that list, so I’ll add it on: no promises on dates though…One thing that’s already on the list is the option to print these ‘inline’ attributes in what we’re calling a sub-table: either vertically down the page as a 2-column table, or across, as a two-row table. Would that be of interest?

Not to burden you with our troubles, but we’re constantly having to balance the need to create really great-looking documents in just the way you want, with the need for simplicity: we don’t want to build the RTF generator all over again. So that’s the only reason we don’t have more of these kinds of options: the more options, the more our users have to learn!

As for the formatting option to have the attribute name not-bold, then the attribute value bold, this is possible, but I’d really like to give you the option to choose the Word styles for these bits. BUT, the Word API which we use is a bit picky about multiple word styles in the same paragraph: basically, it’s not allowed.
