Add an empty line before starting a numbered list.
To create a numbered list, enter a number, a dot, and a space before each item.
To create a second-level list item, add three spaces at the start of the line.
After you're finished, add an empty line before writing the rest of the text.
Tip. The numbered list will start with the number you enter before your first item. The number order in the markup doesn't affect the number order of the final list. However, the text is easier to work with if items on your list are numbered in order.

To create a bulleted list, add a bullet symbol before each item. You can use a hyphen (-
), “asterisk” (*
) or plus sign (+
) as your bullet symbol.
To create a second-level list item, add two spaces at the start of the line.
After you're finished, add an empty line before writing the rest of the text.

A to-do list (checklist) is a numbered or bulleted list that lets you mark the items you've completed. To create a to-do list, enter your item number or bullet and then add a space and one of the following symbols:
[]
for an unchecked item
[x]
for a checked item
Markup | Result |
1. [x] Checked item
2. [] Unchecked item
3. [] Unchecked item |  |
+ List item
- [x] Checked item
- [] Unchecked item |  |
