==Lists==

There are two types of Lists - bulleted and numbered.

Starting a new paragraph, that is, skipping a line, ends your list. In the case of bulleted lists, you can't tell, but in the case of numbered lists, it restarts your numbering and messes things up.

Lists can also be mixed.

===Bulleted===

A bulleted list is created using asterisks, *. Each list item starts with an asterisk. Multiple asterisks cause indented bullets (sub-points).

<nowiki>*Point 1</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>**Sub-Point A</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>**Sub-Point B</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>***Sub-Sub-Point Double-Gamma</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>***Sub-Sub-Point Double-Epsilon</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>**Sub-Point C</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>*Point 2</nowiki>

*Point 1
**Sub-Point A
**Sub-Point B
***Sub-Sub-Point Double-Gamma
***Sub-Sub-Point Double-Epsilon
**Sub-Point C
*Point 2

===Numbered===

A numbered list is created using pound symbols, #. Each list item starts with a pound symbol. Multiple pound symbols cause indented points (sub-points).

<nowiki>#Point 1</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>##Sub-Point A</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>##Sub-Point B</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>###Sub-Sub-Point Double-Gamma</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>###Sub-Sub-Point Double-Epsilon</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>##Sub-Point C</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>#Point 2</nowiki>

#Point 1
##Sub-Point A
##Sub-Point B
###Sub-Sub-Point Double-Gamma
###Sub-Sub-Point Double-Epsilon
##Sub-Point C
#Point 2

===Mixed===

Using a combination of asterisks and pound signs is also possible.

<nowiki>#Point 1</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>#*Sub-Point A</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>#*Sub-Point B</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>#*#Sub-Sub-Point Double-Gamma</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>#*#Sub-Sub-Point Double-Epsilon</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>#*Sub-Point C</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>#Point 2</nowiki>

#Point 1
#*Sub-Point A
#*Sub-Point B
#*#Sub-Sub-Point Double-Gamma
#*#Sub-Sub-Point Double-Epsilon
#*Sub-Point C
#Point 2

===Interrupted Lists===

With the wiki syntax you can only make a list without interruptions; the list items can't be interrupted by anything. For example,
#Point 1
 code
#Point 2


To make a list with interruptions between the list items you need to use HTML.

<nowiki><ol></nowiki><br />
<nowiki><li>Point 1</li></nowiki><br />
<nowiki><li>Point 2<br /></nowiki><br />
<nowiki>More about point 2</li></nowiki><br />
<nowiki><li>Point 3</li></nowiki><br />
<nowiki>#Sub-Point 1</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>#Sub-Point 2</nowiki><br />
<nowiki><li>Point 4</li></nowiki><br />
<nowiki>Point 4.5?</nowiki><br />
<nowiki><li>Point 5</li></nowiki><br />
<nowiki></ol></nowiki>

<ol>
<li>Point 1</li>
<li>Point 2<br />
More about point 2</li>
<li>Point 3</li>
#Sub-Point 1
#Sub-Point 2
<li>Point 4</li>
Point 4.5?
<li>Point 5</li>
</ol>

Everything between the ordered list tags <nowiki><ol></nowiki> and <nowiki></ol></nowiki> will act like one list and every list item <nowiki><li></nowiki> will have be numbered correctly. As you can see there's no problem starting a list with the wiki syntax inside the HTML list. You can make an unordered list with the <nowiki><ul></nowiki> and <nowiki></ul></nowiki> tags instead of <nowiki><ol></nowiki> and <nowiki></ol></nowiki>.
