How to organize bullet list?

Frances Zhao September 27, 2023

I wish to create a bullet list of the following form:

  • item 1
  • item 2
    descriptions of item 2
    • subitem 1
    • subitem 2
  • more descriptions of item 2
  • item 3

and trying to avoid having "more descriptions of item 2" as another bullet point. I wish to have "more descriptions of item 2" coming after the subitems but still under the second bullet point. How can I achieve this?

@Frances Zhao unfortunately at this time you cannot break up a bulleted list in the manner you are looking to. The subitems would not be able to be indented under a line of text that is not a bullet.

Thank you for answering! Would we be able to raise this as an advice to the product team?

@Frances Zhao If you hit alt+Enter after "item 2", it will break to a new line, but will not create a new bullet! Exactly what you want.

Then if you Enter alone, it will create the next bullet, which you can then indent and you get "subitem 1"!

Trivial.

@Aron Gombas _Midori_ what platform are you editing on? The ALT+ENTER combination does not work for me in Confluence Cloud when editing pages on a PC.

"Shift + Enter" works in that way for me. But if I wish to continue with more descriptions about item 2 after subitem 2, there is no way to avoid creating a new bullet item.

I use Linux, but I'd think it would work on any platform... 

I tried in Chrome and FF, too, and it is just fine.

Oh, sorry, @Frances Zhao is totally right. It is SHIFT+Enter :-D :-D

My bad.
