2.3. Lists of things

As you might have guessed, Markdown also has a shorthand syntax for lists.

Here’s an example of an unordered list (aka bulleted list) you can add to your home page.

This example also introduces the Markdown syntax for headings, using one or more hash marks at the beginning of a line to indicate a heading.

## Favorite Movies

+ It's A Wonderful Life
+ The Long Goodbye
+ The Thin Man

Notice we used two leading hash marks to indicate a level 2 heading, and started each list item with a plus sign.

And to make an ordered (aka numbered) list?

Just number your items as in the following example.

## How to make a website

1. Create some content
2. Create a merge template
3. Create a script
4. Run the script
5. Open the output with your web browser

Note that, even if the numbers are not in sequence (because of an insertion, for example), the rendered numbered list will still be numbered consecutively, starting at 1.
