To create an bulleted list, place either *, + or - in front of each line you want as part of the list.

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

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.
