Creating a bullet point in my .user file

I know if I work in the Hero Lab Editor, if I cut and paste, yes the bullet point shows up correctly when viewing (say the Deities from Fantasy Splatbook, etc.)

But I tend to write up my stuff by hand in Notepad++ and even if I make something in Editor first then copy into Notepadd++ HeroLab does not "read" the bullet point correctly.

I have tried each of the following to no avail:

• ("& # 8 2 2 6 ;" spaced out just to see the code)
•
•

What little documentation covering this I could find seemed to suggest the last of those three should have worked at least.

Any suggestions?

Hmm... I'm not by my copy of the program to try this, but what does the resulting ".user" file look like after working in the Editor?

I think it's either:

Code:

[list]

[*]list item 1

[*]list item 2

[/list]

or it might be using curly-braces instead of brackets, so:

Code:

{list}

{*}list item 1

{*}list item 2

{/list}

Largely I think HL uses bbcode for formatting, so this may help: https://forums.wolflair.com/misc.php?do=bbcode#list

Code:

I tried Zarlor's suggestion but to no avail.

As to what it looks like inside HeroLab:

Worse case is I just write up this little section in a separate file just using the Editor, but would really like to solve this one :)

should amend this, using: • or & # 8 2 2 6 ; (spaced out just to show) or • means the file won't even load.

Have you tried just pasting the bullet in? I pasted "• Bullet\n• Bullet" into the "description" field for an item in the user file and it displays just fine with the bullets.

Before that, I pasted the bullet into the Editor, then looked at the .user file it generated to verify that that's how they did it.

I want to say I saw something about doing bullets in the documentation someplace as well. Maybe on the Wiki (http://hlkitwiki.wolflair.com)? But a quick search isn't showing anything for me, but my search-fu might not be up to snoff there. Maybe it was in the help section stuff in the editor, but I can't check that right now to see for sure. I normally use the editor to do things and I'm pretty sure all I ever did with bulleted items were there simply by doing a copy-paste.

If it helps here is were they talk about the formatting codes for things on the Wiki: http://hlkitwiki.wolflair.com/index....e=Encoded_Text
