Indentation Bulleted Lists Numbered Lists Definition Lists

Starting a line with a space will indent the line; starting with more spaces indents the line even more.

To get bulleted list items, start a line with space and an asterisk " *"; to get numbered items, start it with a space and a number template " 1.", " a.", " A.", " i." or " I.". To start a numbered list with a certain initial value, append "#value" to the number template.

To nest lists of different levels, you indent the list items with more spaces. All items with the same level of indentation belong to the same list or sublist. Because of this, you cannot change the style of a list after you started it.

Another form of list, a "definition list", can be created by items of the form <whitespace>term:: definition; note that the term cannot currently contain any wiki markup.

For more information on the possible markup, see Help with Editing.
