bullets
Bullets are used to offset items on a list. The bullet is coded using <ul> tag to note that it’s an unordered list before the entire list. Each item in the list gets an <li> tag. For example:
<p>Senator Booker said the bill didn’t pass for the following reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li>lack of support from centrists;</li>
<li>bipartisan ranker and gridlock;</li>
<li>and several last-minute amendments.</li>
</ul>
This will render as:
Senator Booker said the bill didn’t pass for the following reasons:
- lack of support from centrists;
- bipartisan ranker and gridlock;
- and several last-minute amendments.
To change the bullets to numbers (and ordered list), change the <ul> tag to <ol> to indicate that it is an ordered list. For example:
<p>Senator Booker said the bill didn’t pass for the following reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>lack of support from centrists;</li>
<li>bipartisan ranker and gridlock;</li>
<li>and several last-minute amendments.</li>
</ol>
This will render as:
Senator Booker said the bill didn’t pass for the following reasons:
- lack of support from centrists;
- bipartisan ranker and gridlock;
- and several last-minute amendments.
