[reportlab-users] Bulleted Text not displaying

[Peter Mattingly]

Code:
pdf = SimpleDocTemplate("learn_platypus.pdf",
            pagesize = letter,
            title="Somebody",
            author="Somebody",
            showBoundary = 0,    #debugging, set to 1
            )

body_style = ParagraphStyle(
            name = "body_style",
            fontSize = 12,
            wordWrap = True,#THIS DOES NOT REPORT ERRORS ON BAD INPUTS
                    #Does this even work?
            fontName = "Times-Roman"
            )
text = "<bullet>This is bulleted text.</bullet>"
para = Paragraph(text, style=body_style)
story.append(para)

pdf.build(story)

I'd really like to be able to display bulleted text, but ReportLab isn't
cooperating.  Other things I've tried that didn't work:

text = "<bullet></bullet>This is bulleted text." #displays no bullet, but
the text works
text = "\xe2\x80\xa2This is bulleted text." #displays a bullet CHARACTER
then the text, not what I'm after
para = Paragraph("", style=body_style, bulletText="This is bulleted text.")
#displays nothing
para = Paragraph("\xe2\x80\xa2", style=body_style, bulletText="This is
bulleted text.") #Bullet character AFTER the bullet text

This is the last thing I need to get working before I can finish my
programming.

Thanks for your help.

<Gripe>Always such a headache to program OSS things, would it kill anyone to
make the documentation complete? =*( </gripe>
