# Lists typed by hand

> Bullets or numbers typed as characters (-, *, 1.) instead of a list style.

**Why it's flagged.** Lines start with a typed dash, asterisk or number rather than a real list. The characters print as typed, and the lines don't get list spacing.

**How serious.** Just noting.

**How to fix it.** Usually nothing to do. For real list spacing, in any editor:

1. Select the lines and apply your editor's bulleted or numbered list.
2. Delete the typed dashes or numbers.
3. Upload again.

**When to leave it.** If you want the typed characters exactly as they are, for example a numbered list inside a quotation, leave them.
