It's often useful to indent your text, or make lists.
Indenting Text
- To indent text, you start the line with one or more colons (:)
:This will be indented,
::This will be indented further,
:::The more colons, the larger the indent.
This will give you:
- This will be indented,
- This will be indented further,
- The more colons, the larger the indent.
- This will be indented further,
Making a Bulleted List
Bullets are made in a very similar way. But this time they use asterisks (*) instead of colons. The more asterisks you use, the bigger the indent.
*This gives a bullet,
*If you go onto the next line, the bulleted list continues,
**Just as with colons, the more asterisks, the bigger the indent.
This will give you:
- This gives a bullet
- If you go onto the next line, the bulleted list continues.
- Just as with colons, the more asterisks, the bigger the indent.
How do I make numbered lists?
Numbers use the number sign or hash symbol (#). If you use more than one hash, you can make sub-lists.
#Numbers work in the same way,
#Go onto the next line to carry on the list,
##Two or more number signs will give you sub-items,
##You can carry on with the sub numbers...
#Or go back to the original list.
This will give you:
- Numbers work in the same way
- Go onto the next line to carry on the list
- Two or more number signs will give you sub-items
- You can cary on with the sub numbers...
- Or go back to the original list.
