Lists in Canvas
To start a bulleted list, begin writing a new line with "* ". Add text and press Enter. The Rich Content Editor (RCE) will detect the list, format it programmatically, and continue its sequence. Numbered lists require using the toolbar to format text.
To convert existing lines of text into list items, highlight the lines and then select the desired list from the toolbar.
Avoid using Enter to create multiple paragraphs within a list. This breaks the list formatting into multiple lists, which may cause screen readers to convey list information incorrectly.
