<!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE -->
__NOTOC__
This is the '''bullet''' template; it looks like this: "&nbsp;&bull; ".
 
It works similarly to the html markup sequence "<code>'''&amp;nbsp;&amp;bull;'''&nbsp;</code>". That is, a [[non-breaking space]], a bullet and a normal space.
 
{{tl|bull}} and {{tl|bullet}} redirect here and can be used as alternative names for this template.
 
This template is used when you want a bigger bullet than a [[Template:·|bold middot]] "'''&middot;'''", but something smaller than a [[Template:Ndash|ndash]] "&ndash;" or [[Template:Mdash|mdash]] "&mdash;". For instance for dotted lists that have a font-size 80% or less of normal font-size, since then bold middot "'''&middot;'''" becomes too small.
 
=== Normal usage ===
 
The recommended usage is to use ''no'' space before the template and one space after the template, like this:
<nowiki>[[Salt]]{{&bull;}} [[Pepper]]</nowiki>
 
It will render one space on each side of the bullet, like this:
:[[Salt]] &bull; [[Pepper]]
 
If it line breaks then the line break will come ''after'' the bullet, not before, like this:
:[[Salt]] &bull;
:[[Pepper]]
 
For long dotted lists each list item can be put on its own line, with no spaces between each item and the template. Like this:
<pre><nowiki>
[[Salt]]{{&bull;}}
[[Pepper]]{{&bull;}}
[[Curry]]{{&bull;}}
[[Saffron]]</nowiki></pre>
 
(It doesn't matter if there are no or some spaces at the end of the lines, after the templates.)
 
As before it will render one space on each side of the bullets, like this:
:[[Salt]] &bull; [[Pepper]] &bull; [[Curry]] &bull; [[Saffron]]
 
And if it line breaks then the line break will come ''after'' one of the bullets, not before, like this:
:[[Salt]] &bull; [[Pepper]] &bull;
:[[Curry]] &bull; [[Saffron]]
 
=== Incorrect usage ===
 
If the template is used slightly wrong it will in some cases still behave well. For instance if there are no or several spaces after the template. Like these examples:
 
<nowiki>[[Salt]]{{&bull;}}[[Pepper]]</nowiki>
<nowiki>[[Salt]]{{&bull;}}   [[Pepper]]</nowiki>
 
Both of them will render exactly as before, with just one space on each side of the bullet, like this:
:[[Salt]] &bull; [[Pepper]]
 
And it will still only line break ''after'' the bullet, like this:
:[[Salt]] &bull;
:[[Pepper]]
 
But putting one or more spaces before the template will cause problems, like these examples:
<nowiki>[[Salt]] {{&bull;}}[[Pepper]]</nowiki>
<nowiki>[[Salt]]  {{&bull;}}[[Pepper]]</nowiki>
<nowiki>[[Salt]] {{&bull;}} [[Pepper]]</nowiki>
<nowiki>[[Salt]]  {{&bull;}}   [[Pepper]]</nowiki>
 
Then it will render with ''two'' spaces before the bullet, and one after, like this:
:[[Salt]] &nbsp;&bull; [[Pepper]]
 
And if it line breaks it might break ''before'' the bullet, like this:
:[[Salt]]
:&nbsp;&bull; [[Pepper]]
 
=== Technical details ===
 
The space before the bullet is a [[non-breaking space]]. That means it will not line break and will not collapse together with normal spaces that come before the template.
 
The space after the bullet is a normal space. That means it wraps (allows line breaks) and it will collapse together with normal spaces that come after the template to form one single space.
 
Under some circumstances dotted link lists misbehave. They might get unexpected line wraps or they might expand outside the box they are enclosed in. The how-to guide [[Wikipedia:Line break handling]] explains when that happens and how to fix it.
 
=== Dot size reference list ===
 
{| style="text-align:center; background:transparent;"
| style="width:1.7em;" | <small>&middot;</small>
| align="left" | &lt;small> middot
|-
| &middot;
| align="left" | middot
|-
| <small>'''&middot;'''</small>
| align="left" | &lt;small> bold middot
|-
| '''&middot;'''
| align="left" | bold middot
|-
| <small>&bull;</small>     
| align="left" | &lt;small> bullet
|-
| &bull;
| align="left" | bullet
|-
| '''&bull;'''
| align="left" | bold bullet
|-
| &ndash;
| align="left" | ndash
|-
| &mdash;
| align="left" | mdash
|}
 
=== See also ===
 
There are several other templates with similar functionality:
 
* {{tn|·}} – Bold middot "'''&middot;'''" is mostly used for dotted lists.
* {{tl|ndash}} – Ndash "&ndash;" is a short dash.
* {{tl|mdash}} – Mdash "&mdash;" is a long dash.
* {{tn|\}} – For the occasional slash "/" in lists.
* {{tl|-•}} - Creates a line break, bullet and non-breaking space. Equivalent to the HTML markup: <code><nowiki><br/>&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;</nowiki></code>.
 
* {{tl|••}} – The same kind of bullet but it "sticks" before a list item, instead of after a list item.
 
When making dotted lists you might need to handle proper word wrapping (line breaking):
 
* {{tl|nowraplinks}} – Prevents wraps inside links and only allows wraps between the links and in normal text, very useful for link lists and easy to use.
* {{tl|nowrap begin}} – Prevents wraps in both text and links. For the really tricky wrapping cases when you need full control, for instance in very complex link lists.
* [[Wikipedia:Line break handling]] – The how-to guide detailing how to handle line wrapping on Wikipedia.
