Allow removal of bullet/number from a list item while retaining its indent alignment
When building documents with numbered or bulleted lists, users frequently need to add continuation paragraphs beneath a list item — sub-paragraphs that visually align with where the list item's text begins, but without displaying any bullet or number marker.
Current behavior:
The editor offers two unsatisfactory options:
Using the Indent button — creates an indented paragraph but does not match the text-start position of the list item above it, resulting in a visible misalignment
Adding a list item — aligns correctly, but always shows a bullet, number, or symbol which is inappropriate in formal documents
The only available workaround is manually inserting spaces or pressing Enter between lines and using the spacebar to approximate alignment — an imprecise, time-consuming process that produces inconsistent results across different screen sizes or PDF exports.
Requested behavior:
Add a way to remove the list marker (bullet/number/symbol) from a list item while preserving its indentation level. This would allow users to create cleanly aligned continuation paragraphs under numbered clauses without the marker appearing in the final document. This could be implemented as:
- A "no marker" option in the list style picker
- A dedicated "continuation paragraph" indent style that snaps to the text-start position of the preceding list item
- OR: a toggle to hide the marker visually while keeping the indent
Impact:
This is particularly important for legal contracts, compliance documents, policy agreements, and any formal document where numbered clauses are standard. Users currently face a choice between misaligned text or unwanted markers — both of which undermine the professional appearance of the document. A clean hanging indent for continuation paragraphs is a fundamental word-processing capability expected in a professional document editor.
