Lists provide a way to structure text in a clear manner as well as group items that belong together. CKEditor lets you create two sorts of lists: bulleted (unordered) and numbered (ordered) lists.

Bulleted Lists
Bulleted lists are useful when you want to group a number of items that do not need to appear in any particular order.
Creating a Bulleted List
To create a bulleted list, press the 
button on the toolbar. A default list marker will appear at the beginning of the line of text that contains the cursor and the line will become indented. If you want to add further list items, press Enter on your keyboard. The cursor will move to the next line with a list marker placed at its beginning.
The list is continued automatically when you press Enter at the end of a line. If you want to suppress list creation, press Enter in an empty line with a list marker or click the button again. The cursor will then move to the next, unindented paragraph.
Another method of adding a bulleted list is to select one or more paragraphs and press the button on the toolbar. Each paragraph will then become a separate list item.
Bulleted List Properties
In CKEditor you can customize the appearance of the bulleted list and modify the list marker. In order to change the list style, open the list context menu by clicking the right mouse button on a list item, and choose the Bulleted List Properties menu option.
The Bulleted List Properties dialog window lets you configure the appearance of the list marker.
The Type drop-down list contains the following options:
- Circle – the list marker becomes a round shape that is empty in the middle.
- Disc – the list marker becomes a round shape filled in the middle.
- Square – the list marker becomes a four-sided shape filled in the middle.
Removing a Bulleted List
If you want to remove list formatting, leaving the text of the list items intact, select the list in the document and click the button on the toolbar. The list markers and indentation will be removed and each of the former list items will become a paragraph.
Numbered Lists

Example:
