List syntaxes

Markdown supports ordered (numbered) and unordered (bulleted) lists.

Unordered lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens -- interchangably -- as list markers:

Bullet * Lists

Bullets can be rendered with *.

* Red
* Green
* Blue

Rendered as:

• Red
• Green
• Blue

Plus sign + Lists

Bullets can also be rendered with +.

+ Red
+ Green
+ Blue

Rendered as:

• Red
• Green
• Blue

Dash - Lists

Bullets can also be rendered with -.

- Red
- Green
- Blue

Rendered as:

• Red
• Green
• Blue

Ordered Lists

Ordered lists use numbers followed by periods:

1. Bird
2. McHale
3. Parish

Rendered as:

1. Bird
2. McHale
3. Parish

It's important to note that the actual numbers you use to mark the list have no effect on the HTML output Markdown produces. The HTML Markdown produces from the above list is:

<ol>
  <li>Bird</li>
  <li>McHale</li>
  <li>Parish</li>
</ol>

If you instead wrote the list in Markdown like this:

1. Bird
1. McHale
1. Parish

Rendered as:

1. Bird
2. McHale
3. Parish

or even:

3. Bird
1. McHale
8. Parish

Rendered as:

3. Bird
4. McHale
5. Parish

You'd get the exact same HTML output. The point is, if you want to, you can use ordinal numbers in your ordered Markdown lists, so that the numbers in your source match the numbers in your published HTML. But if you want to be lazy, you don't have to.

If you do use lazy list numbering, however, you should still start the list with the number 1. At some point in the future, Markdown may support starting ordered lists at an arbitrary number.

List markers typically start at the left margin, but may be indented by up to three spaces. List markers must be followed by one or more spaces or a tab.

To make lists look nice, you can wrap items with hanging indents:

*   Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
    Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus. Vestibulum enim wisi,
    viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
*   Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit.
    Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.

Rendered as:

• Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus. Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
• Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit. Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.

But if you want to be lazy, you don't have to:

*   Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus. Vestibulum enim wisi,
viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
*   Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit.
Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.

If list items are separated by blank lines, Markdown will wrap the items in <p> tags in the HTML output. For example, this input:

* Bird
* Magic

Rendered as:

• Bird
• Magic

will turn into:

<ul>
  <li>Bird</li>
  <li>Magic</li>
</ul>

But this:

* List line with spaces turn into paragraph

* List line with spaces turn into paragraph 2

Rendered as:

• List line with spaces turn into paragraph

• List line with spaces turn into paragraph 2

will turn into:

<ul>
  <li><p>List line with spaces turn into paragraph</p></li>
  <li><p>List line with spaces turn into paragraph 2</p></li>
</ul>

List items may consist of multiple paragraphs. Each subsequent paragraph in a list item must be indented by either 4 spaces or one tab:

1.  This is a list item with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor
    sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit
    mi posuere lectus.

    Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet
    vitae, risus. Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum
    sit amet velit.

2.  Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.

Rendered as:

1. This is a list item with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus.

   Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus. Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit.

2. Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.

It looks nice if you indent every line of the subsequent paragraphs, but here again, Markdown will allow you to be lazy:

*   This is a list item with two paragraphs.

    This is the second paragraph in the list item. You're
only required to indent the first line. Lorem ipsum dolor
sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

*   Another item in the same list.

Rendered as:

• This is a list item with two paragraphs.

  This is the second paragraph in the list item. You're only required to indent the first line. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

• Another item in the same list.

To put a blockquote within a list item, the blockquote's > delimiters need to be indented:

*   A list item with a blockquote:

    > This is a blockquote
    >
    > inside a list item.

Rendered as:

• A list item with a blockquote:

  This is a blockquote

  inside a list item.

To put a code block within a list item, the code block needs to be indented twice -- 8 spaces or two tabs:

*   A list item with a code block:

    ```
    console.log('x')
    ```

Rendered as:

• A list item with a code block:

  console.log('x')

It's worth noting that it's possible to trigger an ordered list by accident, by writing something like this:

1986. What a great season.

Rendered as:

1986. What a great season.

In other words, a number-period-space sequence at the beginning of a line. To avoid this, you can backslash-escape the period:

1986\. What a great season.

Rendered as:

1986. What a great season.
