Lists

Edit this section to see the wikicode.

  • Bulleted lists start each line with an asterisk
  • For HTML people: this is like a <ul> list
    • To indent further, repeat the asterisk...
      • ...like this
  1. Numbered lists begin with an octothorpe
  2. For HTML people: this is like an <ol> list
    1. You can also have numbered sub-lists
      1. ...and sub-sub-lists
    2. ...without losing the numbering...
  3. ...of any of the outer lists.
colon just indents a line...
...without any symbols or anything.
  1. A line break will restart the numbering
    • If you do more than one character of additional indent per line,
        • you get repeated bullets
        1. or numbers
        • on the same line.
  1. You can also...
    • ...mix and match; as far as I can tell...
  • ...it's the final symbol...
    1. ...which determines how the line is formatted.
also
semicolon boldfaces everything up to the first colon, and puts the rest on the next line, indented
stuff
this line explains about stuff
things
but this line is about things!
remember
don't get them confused.
