FAQ

How does auto-nesting work?

Auto-nesting detects lines indented with 2 spaces and creates nested list levels. Each 2-space indent increases the nesting depth by one level. The numbering resets at each depth level.

Can I mix different list styles?

The tool applies a single format to all lines. For mixed styles (e.g., bullets for top level and numbers for nested), run the tool separately for each level and combine the results manually.

What are the available formats?

Three bullet styles (dot, dash, asterisk), numbered (1. 2. 3.), uppercase Roman numerals (I. II. III.), lowercase alphabetical (a. b. c.), and checklists with empty ballot boxes (☐).

Is my text uploaded?

No. All list formatting happens in your browser with vanilla JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.
