## Discussion

Discussion Use the ListItemStyle object to define text formatting for a bulleted (unordered) or numbered (ordered) list. Put listItemStyle inside a TextStyle object or ComponentTextStyle object and set the text component’s format property to html. See Using HTML with Apple News Format. You can use this object in TextStyle and ComponentTextStyle. Example {   "componentTextStyles": {     "exampleStyle": {       …       "unorderedListItems": {         "type": "character",         "character": "✓"       }     }   } }
