# Lists plugin

The `lists` plugin allows you to add numbered and bulleted lists to TinyMCE. To enable advanced lists (e.g. alpha numbered lists, square bullets) you should also enable the [Advanced List](../advlist/) (`advlist`) plugin.

The plugin also normalizes list behavior between browsers. Enable it if you have problems with consistency making lists.

## Basic setup

```js
tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: 'lists',
  toolbar: 'numlist bullist'
});
```

## Options

These settings affect the execution of the `lists` plugin.

### `lists_indent_on_tab`

This boolean option allows to disable the indent on tab key functionality. Its default value is set to `true`.

For example:

```js
tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: 'lists',
  toolbar: 'numlist bullist',
  lists_indent_on_tab: false
});
```
