Markdown: Lists
HTML has two main types of lists: ordered (1, 2, 3, etc.) and unordered (bullets). Below are examples of how to create these in markdown.
Example: Ordered list in Markdown
1. Fortran
2. Pascal
3. Cobol

The markdown code above is equivalent to the HTML code below.
<ol>
<li>Fortran
<li>Pascal
<li>Cobol
</ol>
Example: Unoordered list in Markdown
Unordered lists in markdown can be created either with an asterick (*) order a dash (-).
* Fortran
* Pascal
* Cobol
Output:
• Fortran
• Pascal
• Cobol
The markdown code above is equivalent to the HTML code below.
<ul>

<li>Pascal
<li>Cobol
</ul>
