Markdown provides a straightforward way to format lists, enhancing both the readability and organization of your content. Lists in Markdown can be either ordered (numbered) or unordered (bulleted). In this guide, we'll discuss how to use both types of lists effectively.
Unordered lists are used when the order of items does not matter. You can create them using:
*: Use an asterisk followed by a space.+: Alternatively, use a plus sign followed by a space.-: You may also use a hyphen followed by a space.Example:
- First item
- Second item
- Third item

Both ordered and unordered lists can be nested. To nest a list, simply indent it with two spaces or a tab:
- Main item 1
- Sub-item 1.1
- Sub-item 1.2
- Main item 2
