    * Included in door kit is 36 In. of track.
    * Door trims easily to any height.
    * May be installed as a double door, using two single doors.
    * Durable and maintenance-free.
    * MFG Brand Name : Spectrum
    * MFG Model # : HVS3280F

    Output

    Can someone tell me how to remedy this situation? I tried inserting a break <br>, but this didn't help either. Is there some setting that I need to enable?

    How are you creating the bulleted list?

    Firstly, you can't type up your description in MSWord, or even notepad, and expect the "structure" to be rendered on a web page.

    Formatting for a web page needs to be configured using appropriate HTML tags. The formatting code used by other text editors (such as MS Word) is very different from HTML, and a web browser will not recognise it.

    For a bulleted list, the basic HTML tags you use are:-

    <ul>, <li>, and to close... </ul> and </li>

    eg:

    HTML Code:
    <ul>
     <li>first bullet point</li>
     <li>second bullet point</li>
     <li>third bullet point</li>
    </ul>
