Unordered Lists

Create bullet-point lists with dashes, stars, or plus.

Unordered Lists

Unordered lists use bullets. You can use -, *, or + to create them.

Syntax

- Item one
- Item two
- Item three

All of these work the same:

* Item one
+ Item one
- Item one

Nested Lists

Indent with 2 or 4 spaces to create nested (sub) lists:

- Fruits
  - Apple
  - Banana
    - Yellow Banana
    - Green Banana
- Vegetables
  - Carrot
  - Broccoli

Mixing Content in Lists

You can add paragraphs, blockquotes, or code inside list items by indenting:

- First item

  Additional paragraph under first item.

- Second item

  > A blockquote inside a list

- Third item

Best Practices

  • Pick one symbol (- recommended) and stick with it
  • Keep list items concise
  • Use nested lists sparingly (max 2-3 levels deep)

💡 Most people use - (dash) for unordered lists.
