Lists

More on lists at meta

There are different kinds of lists.

Bulleted

Use * to start each line. Different numbers of *s give different levels of nesting.

Markup Gives on the page: 
*item
*item
**item

***item

  • item

Numbered

Use # to start each line. Different numbers of #s give different levels of nesting. Note that this does not give outline numbering, as in the table of contents boxes.

Markup Gives on the page: 
#item
#item
##item

Some of the more complex list types don't render particularly well, and should probably be avoided.
