I agree that different classes can be applied to each <li>, but that doesn't really fit with your use example, each <li> would still have to be edited individually so why not stick with auto-complete to insert the class reference and simply choose or create the class for each item.
You might find that the process is faster to edit and build with auto-complete as you create the items than applying an unspecified class to each <li> then having to return to each to edit.

Exactly what I was going to say Dunkaz.

It really pisses me off when people barge in here, are extremely rude and condescending (which implies all us regular users are retarded for using WeBuilder) while extolling the amazing virtues of some other software. If that software is so f***ing great, why not just use it! Why bother whining about a feature missing here or a function missing there in this software? Even when it turns out it the feature does exist, suddenly it isn't good enough? And why post it in a support forum as opposed to a feature request forum?

Some people.

Posted in feature request forum.
* Wich implies... No way! That is strict your problem. Is about your emotions.
* How do you know that I am not using it? Bad wizard!
* For me that function is very important. I worked for years with notepad++, aptana2, netbeans, codelobster php, dsvphp editor etc. It's about habit.

We all find different ways to accomplish things, let's not start a software war.
From a personal point of view, I try very hard to stick with 'DRY' for coding (do not repeat yourself), I find the auto-complete function very useful for that when applying specific classes or id's to elements, I also believe in using minimal CSS code and that fits in with my first thought on applying the class to the <ul>.
The use case shown suggested that more efficient code building would come from auto-complete where individual <li>'s required different classes ... I just find it tedious to hop around the code editing group applied classes, there's also the risk of missing an item or incorrectly specifying the class as the auto-complete seems slightly less easy to use in that situation.
I can see that this type of edit requirement would apply much more when the auto list builder is used, but there again, I tend to build them manually and class/id as I go.

Keep smiling, life's too short!

I already use autocomplete function. I also use library. I am not interested about your opinion.
If developers consider that my request is good they will do it. If not... that's it.
For me webuilder is great but not greatest.
I have an opinion and I say it.

I've used Webuilder for around 5 years now, I've always found the Blumentals team helpful and responsive.
Perhaps showing a really good use case for a feature request would get more support from them.

I don't care about the 'flame' style response, I'll leave the thread now.
