I am in the process of creating a document management system. I created a new content type with the multiupload widget to allow for multiple files to be uploaded for categories defined in taxonomy. Then I used a view to display the records. The issue I am having is in regard to the display of the views. When attaching files, I have enabled the addition of multiple files per entry. This are defined in the view as comma separated values.
I am trying to figure out the best way to display the file links, rather than as a long list of filenames, as seen in the attachment. I cannot see under the Views format settings that I can separate within a field (in this case download_file). I have explored using CSS but am unable to come up with a solution.
Anyone have any ideas?

What kind of output would you
What kind of output would you prefer? A vertical list (like a bullet list)?
I think that CSS might be your best bet. You could potentially style some element (maybe not the a elements because of the icons, but whatever element contains the icon and link) to display differently.
I have not fiddled with Views in D7, but in D6 you can also specify templates for the output format that can be used to dramatically change the markup used for output elements. You associate these templates with your theme. For example, I have a "views-view-fields--taxonomy-term-exportable--page.tpl.php" which rewrites the order of fields in the view.
