How do I nest lists?

Question

Is there a way to

• nest lists
• in Basecamp
  • like this?

I sometimes get it to work by copy-pasting, but that makes it really hard to modify. Or is that purely a bug and it doesn't "work" at all?

Answer 1

If you mean the markup for writeboards and messages and such it is:

* First level bullet point  
** Second level bullet point  
*** Third level bullet point

This will show up as:

• First level bullet point
  • Second level bullet point
    • Third level bullet point

Answer 2

If you mean the new Basecamp version, you will need to use Google Docs, Word, or some other document formatting tool to get indented lists for now.
