I’m using SS2 to make PDFs that have bullets in the HTML.  I can’t seem to get the extra space to go away when starting a nested bullet list.  Any suggestions?

Here is my XML for testing
```<ol>
	<li>Bullet 1
		<ol style="list-style-type: upper-alpha;">
			<li>Bullet A</li>
			<li>Bullet B</li>
		</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Bullet 2</li>
	<li>Bullet 3</li>
	<li>Bullet 4
		<ol style="list-style-type: upper-alpha;">
			<li>Bullet A</li>
			<li>Bullet B
				<ol style="list-style-type: lower-roman;">
					<li>bullet i</li>>
					<li>bullet ii</li>>
					<li>bullet iii</li>
				</ol>
			</li>
			<li>Bullet C</li>
		</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Bullet 5</li>
</ol>```

using `context.response.renderPdf({xmlString: xml});`

Maybe `ol` has some vertical `margin` or `padding` in the default styling

I’ve tried setting all &lt;ol&gt; and &lt;li&gt; margins and paddings to 0, doesn’t get rid of the gaps.

Iirc, you can render it as HTML and maybe get mire insight into what CSS you might need... ?

i.e. render as HTML and use the Chrome debugger...

I actually got an answer back from BFO!  It’s because like with &lt;td&gt; BFO inserts a &lt;p&gt; tag for …. reasons.  If I put my own p styling I can get rid of the gap.

I like how it just throws in a `&lt;p&gt;` tag. lol
