Bulleted lists

Zulip supports Markdown formatting for bulleted lists. You can create bulleted lists using *, -, or + at the start of each line. Add two spaces before the bullet to create a nested list.

  4. Press Enter to automatically add a new bullet to the list.

  5. When your list is done, press Enter a second time to remove the bullet.

You can also use the Bulleted list () icon to remove existing list formatting from the current line or selected text.
