John Shen
list items. i am wondering if there is an entity reference that will
allow one to explicitly insert a fat dot else where. thanks for any
info.

Make a little round black-dot gif. Don't count on the
ISO Latin-1 chart characters working...

<ul>

Can't be done. The only characters you can specify as character entities
under standard html are the so-called ISO 8859 (Latin-1) character set,
which does _not_ include the "bullet" symbol.
The <UL> list may be rendered with bullets if the browser has that
capability, as many do. Others just use the letter o for the
list. In any case, you have no control over that.
The usual answer is to just make a little transparent GIF of the bullet
you want, then use it as an inline image.
