Lists

More on help with lists at Meta-Wiki.

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 **item ***item *item	item item item 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 ##item #item ##item ###item #item	item item item item item item item item
More list examples
Markup	Gives on the page:
Indent the whole list :*Item 1 :*Item 2 :**Item 2.1 :*Item 3	Item 1 Item 2 Item 2.1 Item 3
Mix types w/continuation #Item 1 has an embedded numbered list ##Item 1.1 ##Item 1.2 #:and then item 1 continues #Item 2 ##Item 2.1 has an embedded bulleted list ##*2.1.1 ##*2.1.2 ##:before it continues ##Item 2.2	Item 1 has an embedded numbered list Item 1.1 Item 1.2 and then item 1 continues Item 2 Item 2.1 has an embedded bulleted list 2.1.1 2.1.2 before it continues Item 2.2

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