Wikieducator rich text editor tutorials/Basic text formatting/Bullets and numbered lists

There are two types of lists that can be created easily in the wiki. The first is a bulleted list (sometimes called an unordered list), and the other is a numbered list. The rich editor toolbar includes buttons to create these lists:


 * [[Image:Rich text editor bulleted list.png|29px]] -- Bulleted list button
 * [[Image:Rich text editor numbered list.png|29px]] -- Numbered list button

In short, bulleted lists are created by clicking the bulleted list button (shown above) and numbered lists are created by clicking the numbered list button.


 * Create the first item in a list by clicking on the list button, which inserts a list function.
 * If you click the button at the start of a line in the editing window, you create a blank item where text must be entered.
 * If you click the button when the cursor is in a line of text, you create a new item with the line of text as the item.
 * Add additional items in the list using the enter key.
 * End a list (and return to normal text mode) by clicking on the list button, which removes the list function.
