I'm trying to stick with working in plain text for general ease. But I want to include some sub-indented bullets into the story. Of course, the method I tried failed on a recent submission and I'm hoping for a quick fix, or suggestions for a better method.
What I tried:
*Main Bullet1
**Sub bullet1
**Sub bullet2
*Main Bullet2
**Sub Bullet1
**Sub Bullet2

example:

-∘ subbullet1-2
• bullet2
-∘ subbullet2-1
-∘ subbullet2-2

Depending on the text editor, the used font, and the character set (use UTF8) you can just copy and paste the symbol and see it in your plain text document and it will translate to HTML as just another character.
Remember that HTML doesn't know tabs (that is accomplished with CSS indention) and multiple spaces will be ignored and reduced to a single space.
ETA: A leading space will also be removed (at least here on the forum it is).
ETA2: If SOL supports lists than that is the way to go to get what you want: https://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_lists.asp. You can nest them (list as a bullet item) and set your preferred symbol or numbering.

Not if you use the &.n.b.s.p.; (without the periods)
xxxxxx
xxxxxx
NOPE. It dropped the non-breaking space.

I should have mentioned I was referring to a nbsp.
I ended up using HTML unordered list format. It's a pain in the ass, but I don't expect to do a lot of it, so I won't cry all that much.

Great, so that works for SOL stories. I tried, but a forum post doesn't accept lists, not even the most simple form.
Once you get familiar with HTML lists they are quite easy and have more flexibility than you would notice at first.
Use tabs or spaces in your text file so you see the indentions for clarity and overview. They won't show in HTML but that's what the list is for :)
