Here are several ways to format unordered lists:

Inline List

A bit of text before the list appears. Perhaps the context is something about a husband getting a call from his wife to pick up a few things on the way home from work. It doesn’t really matter, for our purposes we just need some preceding text before the list:

• Item 1,
• Item 2,
• Item 3,
• Item 4,
• Item 5 we’ll make a bit longer so that it will wrap.

And then there is the text that follows the list in the paragraph. One or two sentences is sufficient for the example. From "Taming Lists" from alistapart.com
