Wow, I don't think I would have ever figured out that particular quirk.
ATTN DEV: Violates rule of least surprise.

Hint: Don't just read the documentation, also look at the tests folder
(unfortunately not included in the Windows installer).

I did. I guess I just wasn't lucky enough to stumble across where this was
covered.


The optional argument bulletText is not the content of your paragraph,

> but the bullet itself.

> For example, try

> para = Paragraph("Blah Blah Blubberfasel Blah", bulletText="a)",

> style=body_style)

> or

> para = Paragraph("This is bulleted text.", style=body_style,

> bulletText="\xe2\x80\xa2")
