Numeric Lists

To make a numbered list, place each item in its own paragraph, preceded by “# ”.

Example

# A first item
# A second item
# A third item
# A fourth item

Will become:

<ol>
<li>A first item</li>
<li>A second item</li>
<li>A third item</li>
<li>A fourth item</li>
</ol>

Which, when rendered by a browser, will appear like this:

  1. A first item

  2. A second item

  3. A third item

  4. A fourth item

NB: Unmodified paragraphs will be wrapped in <p> tags.
