    If you do a full reply (rather than a quick reply) there's a wee button above your entry (about half way along) that makes the bullet points for you :money:


    Or:

    {LIST}
    !!*}one
    !!*}two
    !!/LIST}

    Except with square brackets not curly :D (and the !! are also a square left hand bracket. I'm clueless as to why it's done that...)
