You can’t insert bullet points within a paragraph natively in Webflow's Rich Text or Paragraph elements, but there are a few practical workarounds.
1. Use Rich Text with Custom Spans
- Drag a Rich Text element onto the canvas.
- Enter the paragraph with inline content.
- On a new line or after a colon/comma, create a bullet-style list using line breaks and the dash (-) or bullet character (•) typed manually.
- Example: “Here are the key items: • Speed • Reliability • Design.”
- This works best for simple visual bullets, not semantic HTML lists.
2. Create a Paragraph With a Styled List Next To It
- If the bullet points must stay visually "within" a paragraph, use a 2-column layout:
- Column 1: Place a Paragraph element with the intro sentence.
- Column 2: Use a List element with bullets.
- Style spacing and typography to make it appear like a unified block of text.
3. Use Custom Code (Not Recommended for Inline Bullets)
- Since Webflow doesn’t allow inline
<ul>
elements within a paragraph tag, you’d need to inject custom HTML code via an Embed element. - However, this approach often breaks semantic layout and isn't responsive-friendly.
4. Use Symbols (•) Inline as Decorative Characters
- Within a Text Block or Paragraph, you can manually insert bullet symbols (•) using Option+8 on Mac or Alt+0149 on Windows.
- This doesn't create a semantic list but gives the visual effect of bullets inline.
Summary
Webflow doesn’t support true inline bullet lists within a paragraph, but you can simulate this effect using manual characters, styled layouts, or Rich Text workarounds.
