    Parameter

    Description

    Type

    string

    none

    (error)

    Padding

    Option to increase the default padding of the bullet list. Use em or px units. You may need to adjust padding based on bullet type selected. Minimum padding for the default type 'disc' is 15 px.

    string

    none

    (error)

    When "15px" is given against the padding field & the bullet type is "disc", this is the minimum space between the left margin and the bullet. The bullets cannot be flushed left beyond this point. If a value less than 12px is specified, the bullets do not display, and from 12px to 14px the bullets are only partially visible. If the padding value is anything more than 15px the bullets move right from the margin, accordingly.

  7. Click Insert. The macro placeholder displays.

  8. Add the list contents and assign Confluence's bullet list formatting from the editor.  

  9. Save the page to view the bullet list rendered with the styles you defined.
