How To Create Lists Ina Wiki

You can create three kinds of list on this Wiki:

1. Unordered lists: a bulleted list
2. Ordered lists: a numbered list
3. Definition lists: a list of words or phrases with a seperated explanation of each.

Each is explaned below.

Unordered lists

create with leading asterisks (*) at the beginning of the line of text. The number of asterisks determines the depth of the item in the list. For instance, typing:

 *item 1
 **subitem 1
 **subitem 2
 *item 2

displays as:

• item 1
  • subitem 1
  • subitem 2

• item 2

Ordered lists

create with pound (#) signs at the beginning of the line of text. The number of pound signs determines the depth of the item in the list. For instance, typing:

 #item 1
 ##subitem 1
 ##subitem 2
 #item 2

displays as:

1. item 1
   1. subitem 1
   2. subitem 2

2. item 2

Definition list

create with colins (:) placed at the beginning of the line of text and the end of the defined word or phrase. For instance:

 :Fluffy: the name of a cat
 :Cat: a member of the feline species and the order of mammals.  Commonly raised as pets.
 :Species: a particular type of plant or animal that shares common characteristics with, and can commonly mate with, others of the same species.
