Bullet points

To create a bullet point list:

  • use asterisks * or hyphens - to make bullets
  • make sure there is a space after the asterisk or hyphen
  • leave an empty line space before the bullets start, and one after

For example:

Leave a line below this:

* then an asterisk for a bullet
- or use a hyphen

See the ‘Bullet points and steps’ section of the A to Z style guide for more information on style and punctuation for bullet points.
