I'm having difficulty with outlined bullets

[Kate]

I'm having a hard time getting my bulleted lists to come
out in outline form. I did it once (by accident), can't
remember what I did and the format isn't uniform...one
major bullet will have a single space between it and the
next outlined (further indented) bullet and the next
major bullet has a double space between it and the
outlined bullet below it.

What am I doing wrong and how can I figure out how to do
outlined bullets again?

Thanks,
Kate

If you would show me your code, I could see exactly what you are doing
incorrectly. But the general algorithm is this -

* to go to the next bulleted item at the same indent level, just press the
Enter key.
* to initiate a new indented bulleted list after pressing the Enter key, you
need to click on the indent icon (on the toolbar) twice
* each subsequent nested list element will require two more clicks on the
indent icon.

Doing that will produce code like this -

<ul>
<li>Line 1<ul> <---- note the beginning of a nested <ul>
<li>1_a</li>
<li>1_b</li>
</ul> <---- the end of the nested list
</li>
<li>Line 2<ul> <---- note the beginning of a nested <ul>
<li>2_a</li>
<li>2_b<ul> <---- note the beginning of a nested <ul>
<li>2_a_1</li>
</ul> <---- the end of the nested list
</li>
</ul> <---- the end of the nested list
</li>
<li>Line 3</li>
</ul> <---- the end of the outer list
