Introduction
Lists are a WikiText item similar to Headers, but used much less often. You can have bulleted, numbered, definition, indented, and mixed lists.
Types of Lists
Bulleted Lists
Bulleted lists are probably the most simple of the lists. To make them, type:
*Item *Item **Sub-item ***Sub-sub-item
You can continue adding more items and sub-items with more asterisks (*). This is what the code above looks like:
- Item
- Item
- Sub-item
- Sub-sub-item
- Sub-item
Numbered Lists
Like bulleted lists, number lists are also pretty simple. To make them, type:
#Item #Item ##Sub-item ###Sub-sub-item
You can continue adding more items and sub-items with more hashtags (#). This is what the code above looks like:
- Item
- Item
- Sub-item
- Sub-sub-item
- Sub-item
Definition Lists
Definition lists are harder than bulleted or numbered lists. To make them, type:
;item:definition ;item:definition ;item:definition:alternatedef
And so on. This is what the above code looks like:
- item
- definition
- item
- definition
- item
- definition:
Indented Lists
Indented lists are very helpful; they can be used as lists and for regular text. To make them, type in:
:1 indent :1 Indent ::2 indents (sub-item) :::3 indents (sub-sub-item) ::::4 indents (sub-sub-sub-item)
And so on, adding more :'s for a larger indent. This is what the above code looks like:
- 1 indent
- 1 Indent
- 2 indents (sub-item)
- 3 indents (sub-sub-item)
- 4 indents (sub-sub-sub-item)
- 3 indents (sub-sub-item)
- 2 indents (sub-item)
Mixed Lists
Mixed lists are lists containing one or more methods of listing. Below is an example:
- Bullet
- Number with bullet
- indent
- Another bullet (with indent)
The code for this:
*Bullet **##Number with bullet : indent :*Another bullet (with indent)
