Im having an issue with bullet point lists being turned into numbers. How can I solve this?

In some epub readers (mostly android and windows) my bullet point lists are shown as numbers, repeated 1.s Is there a way around this issue? Ive tried replacing the bullet point for a bullet image of a point but it shows instead a giant image in its place on android devices. Im working on pages for IOS.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Each device is going to interpret bullets differently. Does your publishing program have the ability to use HTML tags? If it does you could pop in something like this

<ul>

<li>Coffee</li>

  <li>Tea</li>

<li>Milk</li>

</ul>


The <ul> will force programs to use a bullet rather than a number, but I don't know if this is possible in the program you are using.
