A number or lowercase plain alphabet (non-accented) character is recommended - if you use an invalid character, it will be converted e.g. "x y z á" becomes "x_y_z_.C3.A1" The anchors generated are of the form "alist-x" where x is the list item number (or with |name=2, the form "alist2-x").

In HTML and XML, a numeric character reference refers to a character by its Universal Character Set/Unicode code point, and uses the format: &#xhhhh; or &#nnnn; where the x must be lowercase in XML documents, hhhh is the code point in hexadecimal form, and nnnn is the code point in decimal form.
To create a list in Wikipedia, you add special characters to the text of the list items. The special characters tell the software how to format the list onscreen. The combination of text and formatting characters is called wikitext. In Figure 14-2, you can see the underlying wikitext that creates the bulleted list in Figure 14-1. Figure 14-2.
An XSL-FO list is, essentially, two sets of blocks stacked side by side. An entry consists of a block on the "left", or start inline direction, and a block sequence on the "right", or end inline direction. The block on the left is conceptually what would be the number or bullet in a list.
In typography, a bullet or bullet point, •, is a typographical symbol or glyph used to introduce items in a list. For example: • Item 1 • Item 2 • Item 3. The bullet symbol may take any of a variety of shapes, such as circular, square, diamond or arrow. Typical word processor software offers a wide selection of shapes and colors.
For lists of up to 30 items (may increase later) without bullets, use a {} or {{Unbulleted list}} template. Typical uses are in infobox fields, and to replace pseudo-lists of lines separated with <br />. The templates emit the correct HTML markup, and hide the bullets with CSS (see Template:Plainlist § Technical details).
