List items (bullets) not reading on same line when using JAWS.

Whoops I just realized my HTML error lol. What I mean to say is:

It appears as


(P)
(L)
__(LI)
_____∙ The lazy brown dog...

A post by Patrick Burke at the WebAIM List identifies something you may want to try with JAWS.
.
"Reading by sentence is a Jaws feature. I think that's what you're after anyway...
.
For a quick test:
.
Insert+V for Jaws (verbosity) options:
Way down under SayAll Options you have:
.
... Reads by line without pauses (that's the default I get); Reads by sentence; Reads by Paragraph; Reads by line without pauses.
.
That should change the behavior. It can be changed permanently (globally or stored separately for each application) under Jaws, Utilities > Settings Center. "
.
.
Regarding the list you've depicted. The presence of a character before the text means you want to use the <Lbl> element for these.
.

Thanks again daka. Even though the text in the tags in the structure tree looked to be on the same line, the CommonLook (CL) plug-in program told a different tale. I was able to make final adjustments within CL.

Ah Well - just me natterng again;
but when the authoring application does not provide adequate tag management for the tagged output PDF one consequence may be that ordered lists do not get the appropriate assignment of the <Lbl> element.
.
When such is the case the content author (if worth their salt) recognizes this when doing the requisite walk of the structure tree and makes the needed corrections.
.
While CommonLook takes away much of the "manual" effort and is, imo, a quality piece of software the cost of a seat (at some 1K) pretty much relegates it to Enterprise usage.

Daka is correct, the list isn't marked up correctly. Lists should be marked up (in tags) as:
L
- LI
-- Lbl
-- LBody
- LI
JAWS will ingore the bullets and read the text.
