Multi Pargraph List Item In Unordered Bulleted List

    I am trying to format an unordered list where some list items have a lot of text, like 150 words in one bullet point. For readability, I would like this bullet item to have 1 bullet, but I would like to break it into 3 smaller items/paragraphs so that it is understood visually that the 3 paragraphs are all the same list item. How can this be accomplished in the block editor?

    I have tried adding 2 break tags or a paragraph tag, but then the spacing between the paragraphs inside of the list item bullet is greater than the spacing between list items, which is visually confusing.

    I also thought I could make it 3 bulleted items instead of 1 and then make the 2 additional bullets invisible, but I can’t seem to get it to work.

    Any idea how to accomplish this?

    Thanks in advance! Mike

    This could probably be fixed with CSS. Please provide a link to a page on your site where we can see this. Thanks.

    Thank you. The page I was working with was: https://www.livingonadime.com/save-money-on-meat/

    The bullet point starting with “Cut back on the amount of food you cook.” was a big paragraph. I added double break tags to make the spacing without more bullets.

    I wondered if there is a better way since the manually inserted break tags seem to go away sometimes when I edit and save a post at a later time, and it reverts back to the big blocky paragraph.

    I did change CSS for spacing unordered lists and it seems to have mostly eliminated the appearance of greater space in double break tags than between list items.

    Thanks, Mike

    Yeah, it looks good. I don’t see a need to mess with it.
