How to Use the Text to List Formatter
Paste your text with one item per line, then choose a list style — Bullet, Dash, Numbered, Lettered, Markdown Bullet, or Markdown Numbered. Each line is prefixed with the matching marker, turning plain text into a ready-to-use bullet list or numbered list in one step, whichever format you need.
Example
Entering Milk, Eggs, and Bread (one per line) with the Numbered style produces 1. Milk, 2. Eggs, and 3. Bread. Switching to Lettered instead produces a. Milk, b. Eggs, and c. Bread.
Common Use Cases
- Turning a plain-text list of items into a numbered or bulleted list for a document or email.
- Preparing a Markdown-formatted bullet or numbered list for a README or blog post.
- Converting a pasted list of steps into a lettered sub-list for an outline.
FAQs
- What is the difference between Dash and Markdown Bullet? Both use the same
-marker, but they're offered as separate style options since "dash list" and "markdown bullet list" are two common ways people search for the same result. - What happens after "z" in Lettered style? The sequence continues with double letters — aa, ab, ac, and so on — the same way spreadsheet columns continue past Z, so lists longer than 26 items still get a unique marker.
- Are blank lines included in the output? No — empty lines in your input are skipped, so the numbering or lettering stays continuous across only the actual list items.
