++ Bulleted Lists

To start a bulleted list the line must be indented with a tabulator.
After the tabulator type an asterisk followed by a space.
For example:

    * Put your cursor at the end of this line and press enter.

The start a numbered bulleted list type an indented number followed by a period at the beginning of the line. For example:

    1. Put your cursor at the end of this line and press enter.


    15.4.3. Put your cursor at the end of this line and press enter.


You can switch off the automatic generation of bullets/numbers with the "auto-bullets" option in the "Editor" menu.

You can also switch off the automatic indentation with "auto-indent" option:

    If this line is indented and you press enter, next will be as well.


If a line has a "lonely" bullet or number on it and you press enter, the bullet is removed:

    * Put your cursor at the end of this line and press enter *twice*.


You can switch off this behavior as well in "Options" dialog, page "Editor", option "Auto-unbullets".


+++ Indenting afterwards

If you have written a list already and want to indent it (more) afterwards, select the list (at least two lines must be selected) and press TAB.

If you want to reduce indentation, press SHIFT-TAB instead.


+++ Caution

Be sure to indent your list, otherwise the following text is interpreted as part of the list and therefore indented in the HTML view.

Example (switch to preview to see the problem):


* Part
* of list


After the list.
