Common Mistakes

⚠️

Mistake: Using asterisks or hyphens instead of proper bullet characters

Fix: Use • (•) for bullet points in HTML content. Asterisks (*) and hyphens (-) are markdown syntax, not proper typographic bullets.

⚠️

Mistake: Using bullet characters where CSS list-style-type would be more appropriate

Fix: For actual HTML lists (<ul>), use CSS list-style-type rather than inserting bullet characters manually. Reserve manual bullets for non-list contexts.
