:Indentation

Indents text. Place colon as first character in line to be indented. Use in succession to make blocks of text.

*Basic Lists

Creates a bulletted list. The more asterisks you use, the lower the list level.

Example:
  • *Level one
      • **Level two
        • ***Level three
      • **Level two again
      • **Another level two

#Numeric Lists

Creates a numeric list. As with bulletted lists, the more octothorpes one uses, the lower the list level.

Example:
  1. #Level one
    1. ##Level two
      1. ###Level three
    2. ##Level two again
    3. ##Another level two
