OK
I have been working on this all day and have worked it out (i think).

If anyone wishes to remove bullets, option names and hyphens from the shopping_cart and back office order check below, ps: i did not remove them from invoices and packing slips, if you need to do that youll need to investigate a little.

This fix works ok for me, I'm no expert, if you want to use it thats great but it would be good for an expert to look at it first .

here is what i did.


To remove bullets hyphens and title (option name) from text attributes.

If you remove the bullets (<li> "list item" ) the list format will be lost so replace it with a transparent image.

Create a new class in (your_template/css/stylesheet .css) file using a 1x1 transparent image to replace the standard bullet.

.bully {
list-style-position: inside;
list-style-image: url(http://yourdomain.com/images/bully.gif);
}

ADMIN/orders.php ( for some reason the override won't work on this file ie: admin/your_template orders.php, so rename the original and make a copy somewhere and also

keep a copy of your changed file as well in case of upgrades)

CHANGE:
echo '<br /><nobr><small>&nbsp;<i> - ' . $order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['option'] . ': ' . nl2br($order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['value']);

As i said im no expert so treat this as a
