Bullet List Nightmare!

Has anyone figured out how to get bullet lists to work in WordPress?

I’ve spent the last two days trying to format a post based mostly on bullet lists. And no matter what I do it falls apart. My blog is 12 years old and I’ve written hundred of posts, mostly in prose form. Hence, I use bullet lists once in a blue moon.

This time I wrote a 3,000+ character post that’s mainly made of bullet lists. And, of course, some of those bullet lists have more than one paragraph under a bullet. Some even have sub-bullets under a bullet.

I wrote the post in Apple Pages (like I always do) and exported it as text. Then I placed the plain text in. WordPress (like I always do) and attempted to format it.

Well, I can’t get WordPress to add some padding under the first paragraph of a bullet and the paragraph below it. Why would I want to do that? Because the way it is now it just looks ugly. Furthermore, to the reader it just looks like one big blob of copy. I need some separation between my paragraphs.

When I try to create sub-bullets it changes the bullets above. Altogether it’s driving me crazy.

Please excuse me if I sound irritated, but after two days of pulling my hair out I’m almost ready to delete the article altogether and stick to prose.

Am I missing something here? Can this be solved with CSS?

I’ll appreciate whatever help you can send my way!

P.S. Just in case it makes a difference, I’m using the Classic Editor. Also, I didn’t link to the article because I haven’t yet published it.
