I want to create a numbered text list (e.g. General Notes), but I want a space between each note. How do I format the numbered list so that I don't have numbered spaces?
For example, when I highlight the text notes and click the icon to number the notes, I get:
1. (text note 1)
2.
3. (text note 2)
4.
5. (text note 3)
I really want this:
1. (text note 1)
2. (text note 2)
3. (text note 3)
This applies to Revit (at least the last three versions)...thanks.
Revit's text management is pitiful, at best. I refuse to use large blocks of Text in Revit primarily due to the erratic margins. I posted a thread about this long ago, but the issue still remains:

Anyway, I have a solid work-around for this that employs a Generic Annotation Family and a Note Block Schedule. In lieu of running through the whole process, I am attaching an example Project (Revit 2012), which contains nothing by a Drafting View (for placement/management of the Generic Annotations) and a Sheet View with two Note Block Schedules.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
6 years later and AUTODESK STILL hasn't fixed this annoying known issue offered in it's other product offerings.... Shameful.

Is there a way to create lists with a dash after the number or letter in a text list instead of a period? Example:
A- Concrete floor slab
B- Structural Footing
C- Concrete Column
Rather than:
A. Concrete floor slab
B. Structural Footing
C. Concrete Column
Obviously it could be written out manually or copied from an outside program such as Word, but if there's a way to do it in a text list that would be easier as it would automatically renumber/reletter if a note is removed or added, and no need to create manual indents, etc. The normal text list works fine for what I need, but our office uses dashes after notes and I want mine to match.
This is by far the most absurd thing in the list of Revit "can't do's". I hate Autodesk so much for not addressing this one simple thing. How can they not understand that numbered lists need a space between numbers? They are incompetent.
In 2017 version with text editor, for a blank line between list notes, use ALT + ENTER
Also, I notice that the spacing between the list bullet / number / letter is directly linked to the Tab Size value in the Type Parameter.

Sorry, meant to say SHIFT + ENTER for new line without incrementing list
Hi all,
I have figured it out for Revit 2017
if you hit shift+enter it wont put the next bullet point untill you have hard returned.
ex.
*start a list (type something) shift+enter enter (type something) enter (type something) "yeilds"*
1. (something)
2. (something)
3. (something)
