You can use lists in your Markdown files.

Unordered lists

To use an unordered list (bullet points), simply begin your list items with a dash - or a star *.

For example:

- This
- is
- a
- simple
- bullet
- point
- list

This gets rendered as:

• This
• is
• a
• simple
• bullet
• point
• list

Numbered lists

To use a numbered list, simply begin your list items with a number.

1. This
2. is
3. a
4. numbered
5. list

Gets rendered as:

1. This
2. is
3. a
4. numbered
5. list

Note that the numbers do not have to be in the correct order (even though it is easier to read in the non-rendered form):

1. This
1. is
1. also
1. a
1. numbered
1. list

will also render to a correctly numbered list:

1. This
2. is
3. also
4. a
5. numbered
6. list

Some editors even autocorrect this to a correctly numbered list. (If the example above does no longer start with 1. on each line, please feel free to reintroduce the mistake for illustration purposes.)
