Hello,

Is there a way to make a list in a p2 post, as one would in microsoft word? When I press enter to start a new line for a list, it creates a new block, which is not what I want. I want the new line within the block.

Thanks,
Takuto

Hi there,

Have you tried the list block?

That should address the issue you’re having. Please take a look and let us know.

Thanks!

Hey there, if you start your next block with a number, the block will automatically change to the numbered list block. Otherwise start with a hyphen and it will be a bulleted list. Tap Enter twice to exit the list block.

I’m loving all the little things that the Block Editor does to make things easier. I’m sure there are other Easter eggs just waiting to be found!

Awesome, the list block was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you @justjennifer.

Also, when using P2, if you’ll start a list with an o, it will make a checklist even if it seems like it’s making new blocks. You can use an x to signify something that’s already done.
```
o To do
o Another to do
o A third one
x This one is already done
```
