List basics

* Lists are easy to do:
** start every line with a star
*** more stars means deeper levels

*A newline
*in a list  
marks the end of the list.
Of course
*you can
*start again.

# Numbered lists are also good
## very organized
## easy to follow

* You can also
**break lines<br>inside lists<br>like this

; Definition list : list of definitions
; item : the item's definition

* You can even create mixed lists
*# and nest them
*#* like this
*#*; can I mix definition list as well?
*#*: yes
*#*; how?
*#*: it's easy as
*#*:* a 
*#*:* b
*#*:* c

A blank line within a list item or between list items

(In this and the next section, numbered lists are used in examples; unnumbered lists give a corresponding result. The only difference is the possible problem of a numbered list restarting with 1 if it is interrupted by a line that is not a list item.)

A list item can not be longer than one paragraph, unless HTML tags <br><br> or <p>...</p> are used within the list item to add space. A paragraph that does not begin with the same list item as preceding lines ("#" for a numbered list, "*" for an unnumbered list) will end the list. If the list is unnumbered, starting another paragraph with "*" will appear to continue the list, but if the list is numbered, the next paragraph which begins with "#" will start the list numbering over again from 1.

For a list with items of more than one paragraph long, adding a blank line between items may be necessary to avoid confusion.

Using <br><br>

One way to produce a paragraph break in a list is to use <br><br>. The spacing between paragraphs may look odd, however.

Example:

#Abc dummy text dummy text.<br><br>Def dummy text dummy text dummy text dummy text dummy text.<br><br>
#Ghi dummy text dummy text.<br><br>Jkl dummy text dummy text dummy text dummy text dummy text.

Result:

1. Abc dummy text dummy text.
   
   Def dummy text dummy text dummy text dummy text dummy text.
   
   
2. Ghi dummy text dummy text.
   
   Jkl dummy text dummy text dummy text dummy text dummy text.

Using <p> and </p>

To get more convincing spacing, you can instead put <p> and </p> tags around each paragraph in the list item.

Example:

#Abc dummy text dummy text.<p>Def dummy text dummy text dummy text dummy text dummy text.</p>
#Ghi dummy text dummy text.<p>Jkl dummy text dummy text dummy text dummy text dummy text.</p>

Result:

1. Abc dummy text dummy text.

   Def dummy text dummy text dummy text dummy text dummy text.

2. Ghi dummy text dummy text.

   Jkl dummy text dummy text dummy text dummy text dummy text.

Extra indentation of lists

In a numbered list in a large font, some browsers do not show more than two digits, unless extra indentation is applied (if there are multiple columns: for each column).

:#abc
:#def
:#ghi

gives

1. abc
2. def
3. ghi
