CTAN Markdown: Unordered Lists

Unordered lists are made up of lines containing a star or a minus in the first column – followed by a space.

* item1
* item2

* item1

The starting character does not have any influence on the character used in rendering the list item.

- item1
- item2

- item1

Note that the indentation of the first level by one space is ignored. This is for convenience but considered to be a bad practice.

Cascading

Unordered lists can be cascaded. This is accomplished by starting the item line with two additional spaces.

- item1
  - item2
  - item1
- item 3
