Bullets when uploading

Monday, February 23, 2004 by Sput | Discussion: Stardock Software

I've noticed that some people manage to layout their comments when they upload things in a very nice way - often including the use of bullets.

HOW??? It's a little thing, but I'd like to make the comments I include more readable and the links to related items easier to follow.

Can you include some HTML elements? If so, is there a list anywhere? Or, like the img and B/U tags, are some of them interpreted and implemented that way?

Have I missed a help screen/file somewhere?

I know you can use <BR> and <P> but I don't how to add bullets. If we can get the info on how people are doing this, I'll add it to FAQ.

Oh cool! Well done Kongit! That'll work for me, even if it's not what other people are using

Some symbols which may prove useful:

¶·¸»Þ˚юӨ٭―•‬
┌─┬┐
├┬┼┤
└┴┴┘
░▒▓■□▪▫▬▲►▼◄◊○●
☺☻☼♥♦♪♫

So for bullet points, this should work
● Item 1
● Item 2
● Item 3
?

Hmmm...it might just be me, but dealing with these Unicode characters seems to be making IE struggle...and I wonder which symbols will work with all sorts of browsers...ah well, the bullets should be pretty safe
