Created attachment 196849 [details] Example file from Writer to show list styles applied Currently the Spotlight highlights only paragraph and character styles, but it would be useful to apply it on List styles as well. 1. Open attached document 2. Go to the Styles sidebar, then to the List Styles category 3. Scroll through the document with the Down arrow to see there are different list styles applied to the text, but there is no Spotlight checkbox to highlight these in the document.

Reasonable, +1
I don't think so. List is an attribute to the paragraph and either applied via assigned list style or per DF. and both are shown properly in the spotlight.

The PS may be default, but with different List styles applied still presented with the *same* symbology (a hash overlay) in the Spotlight. With Spotlight unable to distinguish between PS with Liststyle 1 and PS with Liststyle 2--just that some other style is applied over the default.
(In reply to Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) from comment #0) > the Spotlight ... it would be useful to apply it on List styles as well. Why? What's the use case? This is not a trivial tweak, it would require some work I imagine. (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #3) > I don't think so.

(custom) list styles are an important element in text documents; this good to support the use/maintenance better with extending the possibilities of Spotlight.
(In reply to Cor Nouws from comment #6) > (custom) list styles are an important element in text documents... How do you imagine to use the spotlight feature, ie. when exactly, in which combination, and for what purpose?
We discussed the topic in the design meeting. To spotlight a list style clashes with the current distinction of PS/CS/DF. If a LS is applied to a paragraph you get the information and should investigate the details via style inspector. This is likely a WF, but keeping NI in case some aspect is missing.
