Hello Everybody!
I am just in case to find out if it is possible to make bullet points or ordered Lists with Inkscape. I just could not find any post dealing with this topic.
Greetings Philipp
bullet points and ordered lists
Re: bullet points and ordered lists
Hi Philipp,
No, Inkscape doesn't have a full blown text editor. I'm not sure if it's even planned to have one? But Text menu > Glyphs is sort of like Windows Character Map, where you can find things that would work for bullets, like dots, etc. For numbered lists, you would just type your own numbers. Or you could type your text in a text editor somewhere, and then paste it into Inkscape
Here's a link to the manual info on the Glyphs dialog: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL ... ating.html

I usually clone a circle and distribute it evenly next to the text object. I think there's been requests before for more advanced text formatting, try searching for them on Inkscape bug-tracker - Launchpad.

Re: bullet points and ordered lists
One of the easiest ways I've read about inserting a bullet point is to use this keyboard shortcut within a text box:
Ctrl + u, 2022
Ctrl + u, 2022

That's also a great idea!

Re: bullet points and ordered lists
I overcame this by writing some SVG code like:
<svg height="200" width="200">
<circle cx="50" cy="45" r="4" fill="black" />
<text x="65" y="50" fill="black">I love SVG!</text>
<circle cx="50" cy="65" r="4" fill="black" />
<text x="65" y="70" fill="black">I love Inkscape!</text>
<circle cx="50" cy="85" r="4" fill="black" />
<text x="65" y="90" fill="black">I love GIMP!</text>
<circle cx="50" cy="105" r="4" fill="black" />
<text x="65" y="110" fill="black">...</text>
</svg>
and saving it to a temporary file and then importing it into Inkscape. Inkscape made it part of its own SVG and then you can treat it like any aother Inkscape object.
<svg height="200" width="200">
<circle cx="50" cy="45" r="4" fill="black" />
<text x="65" y="50" fill="black">I love SVG!</text>

<text x="65" y="70" fill="black">I love Inkscape!</text>
