There are 2 types of lists we can add in markdown,

1. Ordered Lists:

• An ordered list defines a list of items in which the order of the items matter.


• Syntax:

Output:

1. Element 1


2. Element 2


3. Element 3

• 
  Ordered List with Sublists:
  
  
  • Lists can be nested into sublists to include items that are a part of a longer list. The example below shows how to implement nested unordered lists in markdown.
  
  
  • Syntax:
  
  
  
  

Output:

1. Level 1
   1. Level 2
      
      
      • Level 3
      
      
      • Level 4
      
      
      
      
   
   


2. Level 1
   1. Level 2
   
   


3. Level 1
   1. Level 2
   
   

2. Unordered Lists:

We can create unordered lists with an asterisk(*), (+), or (-) signs as shown below:

• With asterisk(*):

Output: 

• Element 1

• Element 2

• Element 3

• With plus(+):

Output: 

• Element 1

• Element 2

• Element 3

• With minus(-):

Output:

• Element 1

• Element 2

• Element 3

3. Nested Unordered Lists:

Unordered Lists can also be nested into multiple sublists beneath them similar to ordered lists. The example below shows how to implement nested unordered lists in markdown.

Syntax:

Output:

• Level 1
  • Level 2
    • Level 3
      • Level 4
      
      
    
    
  
  


• Level 1
  • Level 2
  
  


• Level 1
  • Level 2
  
  

We can create lists in the following way by using the HTML tags as shown below:

• 
  Ordered List:
  
  
  • We can also create ordered lists in markdown using the HTML <ol></ol> tags. The <ol></ol> tags denote the start and end of the lists. The items in the list are added using the <li></li> tags.
  
  
  • Syntax:
  
  
  
  

Output:

1. First item


2. Second item


3. Third item


4. Fourth item

• 
  Unordered List:
  
  
  • We can also create unordered lists in markdown using the HTML <ul></ul> tags. The <ul></ul> tags denote the start and end of the lists. The items in the list are added using the <li></li> tags.
  
  
  • Syntax:
  
  
  
  

Output:

• First item


• Second item


• Third item


• Fourth item

We can also create task lists in markdown using a hyphen(-) followed by [ ] braces. An x is put inside the braces to indicate the task is complete.

Example:
