is there a way to create bullet point lists with Ulysses and if so how? I can make indented lists but don't know how to place bullet point in front of the entries at export time.
You can create a new Paragraph Style with the kind of bullet you want to use (•, ? etc.) as the Tag. Then simply use this character followed by a tab whenever you want to create a list item. In the (PDF/RTF/Word-)Exporter, you can use one of the Enumeration styles as the Style for that Tag. Uncheck the "Delete tag" checkbox and the bullet will appear in the exported Document.
