Dear CommCare Users,

For some reason, all other markdown tags are working just fine except for  
the "Bullet Points"(i.e. "\* SPACE something")! I have been formatting text  
in the App with "\* SPACE" for bullet points and it has been working with no  
issues until now for this particular project!

Any ideas what I may not have been doing correctly?

Thanks,  
Chaiwa.

Chaiwa,

that looks correct, a couple of ideas:

Are you sure that you haven't accidentally clicked "Turn off text  
formatting"?  
If you're using a header before the list, do you have an extra space  
between the header and the list? As described here  
[https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Text+Formatting](https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Text+Formatting) under  
additional notes.

If neither of those is the issues please report a bug  
[https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Bug+Reports](https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Bug+Reports) and our  
team can take a look.

Thanks,  
Will
