True half-siblings (i.e. they share one parent) can be shown by checking Show Half siblings (click on the siblings icon below any individual – at the bottom of the box that appears there is a tick box for Show Half brothers and sisters). It will show for all families with half-siblings. To have step-children included you need to attach the children to the marriage of the natural parent and the step-parent (as well as their birth parents if you wish). You can also use the Child Status box (right click on each child as required and select Children’s settings) to designate step-child of father or step-child of mother. This will show up in the children’s list next to their name. You could also designate relationship to Father / Relationship to Mother in the same place.

I don't want to have to jump between marriages to get a full list of children an individual had.
