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 **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

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