Unordered lists

  • ''Unordered lists'' are easy to do: * Start every line with a star. ** More stars indicate a deeper level. *** More stars indicate a deeper level. *** More stars indicate a deeper level. **** More stars indicate a deeper level. ***** More stars indicate a deeper level. ***** More stars indicate a deeper level. ****** More stars indicate a deeper level. ******* More stars indicate a deeper level. *: Previous item continues. ** A new line
  • in a list marks the end of the list.
  • Of course you can start again.

Numbered lists

''Numbered lists'' are: Very organized Easy to follow More ponds indicate a deeper level. More ponds indicate a deeper level. More ponds indicate a deeper level. More ponds indicate a deeper level. More ponds indicate a deeper level. # More ponds indicate a deeper level. # More ponds indicate a deeper level. ## More ponds indicate a deeper level. A new line marks the end of the list. New numbering starts with 1.
