The post editor supports html too. You might be able to achieve this effect using html I think.

Choose a car:  
Test

 Volvo Saab Mercedes Audi

p.s.  
You’re right. The dropdowns aren’t supported. Its a rare requirement to have dropdowns in the post content but we’ll see if others have the same requirement, or what experts/team have to say.

I can’t think of any way to do this at the current time. I guess you would need to add those HTML tags to the allowed tags list for a post.

Can you advise on the example of such html tag in the message area and what to add in the settings?
