It’s also possible to make numbered lists by placing “1.”, “2.”, etc. in front of the list items. To create a numbered list, the numbers must have periods/full stops after them.

Again, make sure to leave a space between the “bullet” character and the text on each line, and to leave a line space between the list and any preceding/following text, otherwise it will not work.

This is how to create a bulleted list:

item one;

item two;

item three.

This will become another bulleted list:

And this will be a numbered list:

Code blocks

If you are a developer you may be interested in code blocks. To create a code block, start your text/code with four backticks ( ` ` ` ` ). To return to normal text, close the code block with another four.

It’s also possible to display code inline, by marking the start and end of the snippet with a single backtick.

This is a line of normal text.

this will be a code block

Then some more more normal text.

More code in this block,

and a line of code indented by two spaces

Horizontal line

To create a horizontal line, use at least three - - -, _ _ _ or * * * on a separate line. Any number above three will do the same thing and spaces between the characters do not matter.

A line of text above the horizontal rule.

The start of the next section of text.
