list

To create a bullet point list, begin each line with an asterisk (*). A single item can be split over multiple lines.

To end the list, use a blank line.

* red
* green 
* blue

Creates :

• red
• green
• blue

You can have multiple levels of indentation, just add more asterisks for more indenting. For example :

* red
** pink
* green
** jade
* blue

• red
  • pink
• green
  • jade
• blue

Numbered lists are just as easy, use a hash symbol (#) (AKA pound symbol for Americans).

# red
# green
# blue

produces

1. red
2. green
3. blue

These can once again be indended further :

# red
## pink
# green
## jade
# blue

produces

1. red
   1. pink
2. green
   1. jade
3. blue
