When editing a text I cannot start the line with "-" because it is converted to list automatically. Sometimes, yes, this is what I need. But, when I want to keep the text as paragraph how can I use the editor to have the line starting with "-"?

- @TonyDjukic Probably block editor (formerly Gutenberg) as per tag – kero Commented Jan 7, 2021 at 16:26
- @kero I missed that entirely. :face palm: GhitaB if you're in the paragraph and you start a line with the hyphen, when it switches to a bullet list, just go back to the top and convert the block back to a paragraph. I'll attach an answer with images. – Tony Djukic Commented Jan 9, 2021 at 4:49
- 2 GhitaB, do you still have this issues with Gutenberg plugin installed and activated? I just tested on one of our staging sites, starting with "- " does indeed turn it into list block, but then pressing backspace once reverts it back to paragraph with a leading "- ". – kero Commented Jan 11, 2021 at 18:58
- Yes, @kero, this is the answer. :) Pressing backspace solved the problem. Thank you. – GhitaB Commented Jan 12, 2021 at 3:43
