Lists

Create ordered, unordered, and task lists to organize information clearly.

Unordered Lists

Use -, *, or + to create bullet points.

  • Item one
  • Item two
  • Item three

Ordered Lists

Start each item with a number followed by a period. The actual numbers don't matter — they auto-increment.

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

Nested Lists

Indent items with 2 or 4 spaces (or a tab) to create nested sublists.

  • Fruits
    • Apples
      • Granny Smith
      • Fuji
    • Oranges
  • Vegetables
    • Carrots
    • Broccoli

Task Lists

Use - [ ] for unchecked and - [x] for checked items.

  • Write the documentation
  • Review pull request
  • Deploy to production
  • Send release notes
