    Is there a way to insert a bulleted list?

    I see the little icon to the right of the Italics, but when I select text, it only puts a bullet by the first item. Inserting a CR after each item doesn't seem to matter.

    First Item
    Second Item
    Third Item

    Seems to work fine. You have to start each line with a * or another kind of bullet marker. I guess you can also nest.

      @klaus what am I doing wrong?

      I make the list, then I select all the items on that list and hit the button. Only the first item gets the bullet.

      First
      Second
      Third

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Ah, you have to select EACH line?

        Well, that's a pain.

          Oh, so you are selecting an existing text and want to convert each line to a list item?

          Hm.

          A "low-key" solution if you really want this would be to select the text, pop up a "search&replace" dialogue (which may or may not require a plugin in your browser of choice) and replace all CRs by "CR* ". If you are a Mac OS command line nerd, use sed.

              It looks like you can create a list as you type

              • by
              • leading
              • each
              • line

              with an asterisk and a space.

              Only non-witches get due process.

                A complication would be that you need to know how to "type" a CR into your search/replace dialogue. That's a hard task for old farts some.

                    The reason I ask is that in the "retraction" thread, there are 62 items listed, and it would be nice to separate them with bullets, or perhaps number. Adding an asterisk at each item is a PITA.

                      Paste it into a text editor. Do find and replace for \n or \r and replace with \n* or \r*

                          @klaus thanks!

                          Did you run that through an editor, or is is a change in the way the forum works?

                          ETA: Through a text editor, I see. Which one would you recommend?

                                @george-k press Option-Return to search for or replace carriage returns.

                                https://macromates.com/textmate/manual/searching

                                If you wish to search for tab or newline characters then you can press option-tab or option-return to insert these in the search or replace fields. The fields will automatically grow with their content.

                                    \n would work in regular expression search mode, which is a whole new universe of searching. You’ll find that you’ll like this kind of thing, if this is the kind of thing you like. But for now it’s presumably best ignored.

                                        @89th nope me also. Also on a iPhone. Never a problem on the desktop.

                                        Also logs me off the forum quite often.

                                        I thought it was maybe because the location I was from or using a VPN.

                                          I'm considering to upgrade our server. We've had a few issues with RAM; occasionally, the database we use had to be restarted because it ran out of memory. It turns out that with the newest generation of vservers at our provider, an upgrade to 8GB instead of 4GB RAM is only 70 cents a month. The migration will have to be manual, though - according to the provider, an automatic migration isn't possible because it's a different hardware generation.

                                          403a8b23-00bb-473e-8624-2910c488ee8c-image.png
