This extension enables you to use bullet lists in the editor. They are rendered as `<ul>` HTML tags.

Type <code>*&nbsp;</code>, <code>-&nbsp;</code> or <code>+&nbsp;</code> at the beginning of a new line and it will magically transform to a bullet list.

## Installation
```bash
npm install @tiptap/extension-bullet-list @tiptap/extension-list-item
```

This extension requires the [`ListItem`](/api/nodes/list-item) node.

## Settings

### HTMLAttributes

```js
BulletList.configure({
  HTMLAttributes: {
    class: 'my-custom-class',
  },
})
```

### itemTypeName
Specify the list item name.

Default: `'listItem'`

```js
BulletList.configure({
  itemTypeName: 'listItem',
})
```

## Commands
