Bullets in table columns not displyed correctly

Wanting to display a number of bulleted items in a single table column, the bullets are not displayed as bullets, but as asterisks. WYSIWYG editing displays the table with the bullets, as intended.

The code is:

{table}

* # of Alternatives
* Ease of transition to alternatives
* Available support for the framework|
VendorLock-In | Per Framework |
