I notice on facebook that many people leave mistakes or even make another post with the correction.
It took me a while but there is an edit facility to the right of your name. (hover)

I did it by pressing SHIFT-ENTER after each item - a bit painful as I'm so used to just hitting ENTER :-D but it works!

Me too, you juust have to forget all the rules of typing. With FB you just continue to type. As long as there is punctuation, it will not be too bad.

Not too sure about lists though. Can you not scan the list then add it as a photo?

Thanks for this. The number of times I've automatically hit 'enter' to start a new paragraph...... :-|

I hold down shift before I hit enter.

I don't use FB much at all, but would like to know how you can type, say, a list of things in a reply. If I hit ENTER, it will automatically jump to a new comment line. Can I do SHIFT-ENTER? I know this is probably a complete dumbo question, but I wanted to ask before I do it and make a right mess of someone's item :-D :-D

I use FB on a laptop via internet, not on a phone or tablet.
