How to Create list in LaTeX without bullets?

In LaTeX, when you create a list through the itemize environment, LaTeX puts bullet points before each item. In this tutorial, I will show how you can create lists without these bullets.

In order to remove the bullets in the list you can use any of these methods:

• Use \item[] instead of the \item command for locally
• Use \renewcommand{\labelitemi}{} in the preamble for globally

Remove bullets from the list locally

To remove the bullets of a particular list, you can use \item[] instead of the \item command when you create that list.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\noindent Itemize with bullets:
\begin{itemize}
  \item 1st Item
  \item 2nd Item
  \item 3rd Item
\end{itemize}
Itemize without bullets locally:
\begin{itemize}
  \item[] 1st Item
  \item[] 2nd Item
  \item[] 3rd Item
\end{itemize}
\end{document}

Output:

Remove bullets from the list globally

To remove the bullets from the list globally you can use the \renewcommand{\labelitemi}{} command in the preamble of the document.

\documentclass{article}
\renewcommand{\labelitemi}{} % To remove the bullets globally
\begin{document}
\noindent Itemize without bullets:
\begin{itemize}
  \item 1st Item
  \item 2nd Item
  \item 3rd Item
\end{itemize}
Itemize without bullets:
\begin{itemize}
  \item[] 1st Item
  \item[] 2nd Item
  \item[] 3rd Item
\end{itemize}
\end{document}

Output:

Control the indentation of list items

If you look closely, the indentation of the list items shows a lot to remove the bullets. You can control this indentation with the enumitem package’s [leftmargin=<value>] command after \begin{itemize}.

You can use [leftmargin=*] or [leftmargin=0pt] to remove the indentation or you can also set other values if you want.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\noindent Itemize with indent:
\begin{itemize}
  \item[] 1st Item
  \item[] 2nd Item
  \item[] 3rd Item
\end{itemize}
Itemize with less indent:
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
  \item[] 1st Item
  \item[] 2nd Item
  \item[] 3rd Item
\end{itemize}
Itemize with no indent:
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=0pt]
  \item[] 1st Item
  \item[] 2nd Item
  \item[] 3rd Item
\end{itemize}
\end{document}

Output:
