How to Make a Bullet Point List in LaTeX

In LaTeX, you can create a bullet point list using the itemize environment.

The following examples show how to create a bullet point list in LaTeX.

How to Create a Bullet Point List

We can use the itemize environment to create a bullet point list in LaTeX document.

Suppose we want to create a bullet point list.

We can use the following LaTeX code to do so:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

This is an example of a bullet point list:
\begin{itemize}
    \item First item
    \item Second item
    \item Third item
\end{itemize}

\end{document}

Output: 👇️

This is an example of a bullet point list:
• First item
• Second item
• Third item

In this example, we use the itemize environment to create a bullet point list with three items.

How to Create a Nested Bullet Point List

We can also create nested bullet point lists by using the itemize environment within another itemize environment.

Suppose we want to create a nested bullet point list.

We can use the following LaTeX code to do so:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

This is an example of a nested bullet point list:
\begin{itemize}
    \item First item
    \item Second item
    \begin{itemize}
        \item Subitem 1
        \item Subitem 2
    \end{itemize}
    \item Third item
\end{itemize}

\end{document}

Output: 👇️

This is an example of a nested bullet point list:
• First item
• Second item
    • Subitem 1
    • Subitem 2
• Third item

In this example, we use the itemize environment within another itemize environment to create a nested bullet point list.

Conclusion

We can use the itemize environment to create both simple and nested bullet point lists.
