Introduction

Creating subbullets in Markdown can help to organize lists and improve readability. This guide outlines the syntax and best practices for using subbullets effectively.

1. Creating a Basic List

To create a bullet list, use *, -, or + followed by a space:

* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 3

2. Adding Subbullets

To add subbullets, indent your sublist under the main bullet. Example:

* Item 1
    * Subitem 1a
    * Subitem 1b
* Item 2

This will be rendered as:

Item 1
- Subitem 1a
- Subitem 1b
Item 2

3. Best Practices

Maintain consistent indentation (although Markdown parsers can vary in handling spaces or tabs).
Use a clear hierarchy for improved readability.
