Unordered, Numbered (Ordered), and Nested Lists
Unordered Lists
The list of features at the top is an example of an "unordered" list, that is, a list that has simple bullets next to them.
- Start on a new line by pressing Enter one or more times.
- Click the
button. You should immediately see a bullet (usually a black dot) next to where you are typing. - Type in list items. Separate each item by pressing Enter.
- To exit the list, click the
button again, or press Shift-TAB.
Numbered or "Ordered" List
- Start on a new line. This means you may need to press "Enter". If you were in the process of creating a list, you may need to click the list button again to exit it.
- Click the
button once. - Pressing "Enter" automatically creates a new item with the number (or letter, as the case may be) incremented by one.
- To exit from the list, click the
button again or press Shift-Tab.
You can switch between types of lists by clicking the appropriate button. For example, if you're writing an unordered list and want a bullet point instead, click the
, then once you're done with bullets, click the
button again.
Nested Lists
It is possible to create "nested" lists of different kinds of lists.
- first main item
- second main item
- first nested item
- second nested item
- third main item
In this case, after typing in "second main item", I pressed Enter then TAB. By pressing Shift-tab I was able to revert to the original level.
