SYMPTOMS
When you convert or create the following type of markup in Internet Assistant



one 

two 

three



the  element will be added to each list item so that your results will include a bullet, like this:


 * one

two


 * three

where "*" is a bullet character.

CAUSE
Internet Assistant is mapping the list items to the List Bullet,UL style. As a result  tags are added to each item. This behavior is by design.

WORKAROUNDS
Method 1:

Use the Blockquote style instead of the Unordered List,UL style. Although the Blockquote element is used to indicate a quotation, it will render the list items as indented, without the use of bullets or other symbols.

Method 2:

You can open the HTML document as text only and remove the  tags in the HTML markup, saving the file as a text file.
