bulleted list

Points with markers

A bulleted list is a series of items arranged vertically, each marked with a symbol—typically a round dot—rather than numbers or letters.

The format signals that items are parallel but not sequential: The job posting included a bulleted list of requirements.

Bullets help readers scan information quickly.
