      Wait, now it looks different again? The "Readable" skin is still the default, though. @mark (or @Axtremus ), did you do anything?

          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

          =-=-=-=-=

          • First Item
            Second Item
            Third Item

          =-=-=-=-=

          • 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.

            • first item
              • first subitem
              • second subitem
            • second item

              @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

                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*

                                  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.
