LJ S2 customization question

[ratcreature]

Like many others I've also resorted to hierarchical tagging (i.e. the "category: subcategory" kind of tag like "recs: sga") to circumvent LJ's stupid and deficient tag implementation that lacks a logical AND and is limited to display only a hundred entries per tag. And I've seen tag lists in the side bar ordered in a list style, like in the recsrainbow LJ, but somehow I can't find a tutorial that tells me how I can display my tags like that in my sidebar rather than as a cloud. I tried finding it in s2howto, but I didn't see a tutorial for such an indented tag list there. Does anyone have a link to a tutorial explaining what I need to do? I assume I'll need to paste something in my customization layer, but without a tutorial that is like figuring out a programming language with all the functions and such, and that seems undue effort for such a modest stylistic modification, since it's not like I want to create an entirely new style.

In my base style, which is Flexible Squares, there's an option in the customization section to display tags as a list or a cloud. I didn't have to change anything in my layer code; it's a ticky box or dropdown or something (can you tell it's been a while since I've done anything but paste in a new stylesheet?).

I use Smooth Sailing, and they changed the customization interface since I last used it, so I'm even more lost than usuual. I only see only something where I can choose whether I want the cloud centered or aligned to the left or right. :(

And your option automatically indents sublists if you have tags with a colon in it? like

1. tv
2. spn

If you have the tags "tv: sga" and "tv: spn"?

gah, I meant to use the list type without the numbers *headdesk*

I think this is the one for your style:

Thank you! That's indeed the style I use. I think I had even used that ccommunity before, only forgotten about it and the FAQ didn't point there that I've seen, only to the other one. I shall try this.

Just a note, because I thought you might know: there was an SGA comm that had some kind of documentation challenge, maybe a year ago? I remember Sarah T. posted her pie-chart including “Lemons: threat or menace?” there. Do you know what I'm thinking of?

This one on sga_flashfic?

Thanks! I thought maybe it was SGA_FASTFIC and couldn't find it.
