I am having difficulty making bulleted points in tables using TeXMaker.
This is a sample of the table I am working on.
This is moreorless what it looks like
-I want to be able to introduce sub-bullets but I don't know how (if possible, while maintaining the $\RHD$ (or right hand diamond; see figure above) symbol);
-Tried itemize to introduce these sub-bullets unsuccessfully;
-Even a simple itemize does not compile for some reason and I get a number of error messages;
Here is where I would like help:
-I would like to understand why itemize does not work below and how I might introduce sub-bullets using the RHD symbol;
Sample of the code
Temporary bit (trying to implement Mico's answer here.)

Also, in case it is helpful, the original table spans 10+ pages)
