I have an article relating to animal care. The article includes preventative measures for a particular illness in point form. Normally I would bullet or number the list but CC understandably doesn't allow for that sort of formatting. Using plain text, how best can I make it clear the measures are a list rather than them looking like short paragraphs?

Isildae,

Unless I "missed something" -- you CAN use bulleted list. I use them often in my articles. Why do you think you can not?

I hope I am not misleading you, but I have used them.

Our guidelines don't say anything about not using bulleted lists. Just format consistently within an article, and you'll be fine.

Thanks for your responses. I read the following: This consists of single spaced lines, no indentations and a double space between paragraphs.

and

These files are plain text with no special formatting, bold print or italics. The buyer will format the article once downloaded.

and figured that bullets would both include indentations and be classed as special formatting. I viewed a number of other articles with similar advice style lists and could not find any that contained bullets so assumed they were restricted. I have since submitted the article without bullets so I guess I'll wait and see how it goes.
