Itemize without bullets

Question

I want to use the itemize environment exactly as it works by default, but hide the bullets that would otherwise appear.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Answer 1

You can do this in several ways: for example, by using an empty optional argument for \item (as Jake suggested), or by using the enumitem package to use an empty label, or by redefining \labelitemi; these approaches are illustrated in the following example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}

\begin{itemize}
  \item[] First.
  \item[] Second.
\end{itemize}

\begin{itemize}[label={}]
  \item First.
  \item Second.
\end{itemize}

{\renewcommand\labelitemi{}
\begin{itemize}
  \item First.
  \item Second.
\end{itemize}
}

\end{document}
