Here's how to create a list:

Contents

Headers

There are six kinds of headers; levels 1 through 6, six being the smallest.

For header one, type your text surrounded by 1 pair of equal signs. For header 2, 2 pairs. And so on:

Header 1

Header 2

Header 3

Header 4

Header 5
Header 6

Looks like this: =Header 1= ==Header 2== ===Header 3=== ====Header 4==== =====Header 5===== ======Header 6======

Indentation

To indent a paragraph, use the : sign.

For a single indent, type :. For two indents, type ::. And so on:

Single indent
Double indent
Triple indent


Bullets and Numbers

To create a bulleted list, use the asterisk sign. To create a numbered list, use the pound sign.

For a level one bullet, type *. For a level two bullet, type **. And so on:

  • Single bullet
    • Double bullet
      • Triple bullet

Use a single pound sign, #, for each number:

  1. First
  2. Second
  3. Third
