Details

You can write ordered lists in Markdown using a number, a period, and a space. Notice in the second example that you can use the number 1 for each item in the list, but the output will show the correct order of numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.).

1. Item
2. Item
3. Item

1. Item
1. Item
1. Item

You can also create an ordered list bry writing the number, a closing parentheses, and a space.

1) Item
2) Item
3) Item

1) Item
1) Item

Nested lists

You can also create nested lists by indenting items. You can use an unordered list as the indented list.
