Markdown assists you when creating numbered lists (ordered) and bullet lists (unordered). To create an ordered list, use a number followed by a dot as the item marker:

Code:

1. Snowy
2. Elf
3. Boreal

Results:

1. Snowy
2. Elf
3. Boreal

---

To create an unordered list, use *,+, or - as item marker:

Code:

* Sun
* Moon
* Earth

Results:

• Sun
• Moon
• Earth

---

You can nest lists by indenting by four spaces(or one tab) the lists on the second level:

Code:

    * Ingredients
        - Milk
        - Eggs
    * Recipes
        1. Pancake
        2. Waffle

Results:

• Ingredients
  • Milk
  • Eggs
• Recipes
  1. Pancake
  2. Waffle

---

If your list contains entire paragraphs, leave an empty line between list items. To write more than one paragraph under the same item, make sure that they are indented by 4 spaces (or one tab):

Code:

    1. First paragraph.

        Second paragraph.

    2. Another list item.

    3. Yet another

Results

1. First paragraph.

   Second paragraph.

2. Another list item.

3. Yet another
