"tee" the output to a file with docx extension. I want to open the file with word.</c>

A trick for producing documents that look nice in Word: output simple HTML and name the file with a docx extension. Word will format that reasonably and your employer gets a "docx" file.

You can indent - and get bullet points (or item numbers) - with HTML lists:

<ul> <li>artist <ul> <li>album <ol> <li>song</li> <li>song</li> </ol> </li> <li>album</li> </ul> </li> <li>artist</li> </ul>

Note: <ul> produces a bulleted list and <ol> produces a numbered list.

To get a list with out either bullets or numbers, use:

Update: As hippo rightly pointed out (below), you should use:

<ul style="list-style: none;">

rather than (ab)using <dl> as I have done in the past. However, I have not actually tested that, so I will leave my (heretical) example, below, as-is.

<dl> <dd>artist</dd> <dd>artist</dd> </dl>

You can nest <dl> with <ul> and <ol> lists.
