Lists

The following types of lists are available:

• Numbered: For describing a sequence of actions.
• Bulleted: For listing elements when the order isn't important.
• Definition: For creating glossaries.

Each list type can contain any markup elements and nested items.

Numbered list

To make a numbered list, use numbers with the . or ) symbol. Numbering is performed dynamically during building, so the order of the numbers is not important.

1. Second item.
1. Third item.

Result

1. First item.
2. Second item.
3. Third item.

Bulleted list

To make a bulleted list, use the *, -, or + symbols.

For example:

* List item.
* List item.
* List item.

Result

• List item.
• List item.

Definition list

To make a definition list, use the : symbol.
