Lists

# Overview
You can create two types of lists:
- Bullet Lists: which are unordered and not numbered and have a blue square before the text, or
- Numbered Lists: which order or number each item

# How to Make a Bullet List:
To create a bulletted list, start the line with a star sign "*".
Typing this:
Yields this:
- This is a list
- This is part of the same list
- As is this!

# How to Make a Numbered List:
Numbered lists are just as easy. Instead of starting the line with a "*", instead start each line with a "#".
Typing this:
Yields this:
- I'm number one!
- I'm number two!
- I'm number three!
Be Careful! A list ends when there is a line that has no # sign at the beginning. Numbering starts over with the number 1 again when the # sign is encountered again. So for instance:
Typing this:
Yields this:
- List 1
- List 1
No List
- List 2

# Multi-leveled Lists
Adding more levels to a list is simple - just add another list character to the front. So:
becomes:
- List Level 1
List Level 2
List Level 3
List Level 2
- List Level 2
List Level 3
- List Level 3
- List Level 2
- List Level 1
This works with both styles of list:
becomes:
- List Level 1
List Level 2
List Level 3
List Level 2
- List Level 2
List Level 3
- List Level 3
- List Level 2
- List Level 1

# Mixing Bullett Lists and Ordered Lists:
You can even create mixed lists
Typing this:
Yields this:
- and nest them
like this
can I mix definition list as well?
yes
how?
it's easy as
a
b
c
- and nest them

it's easy as

c
- like this

yes
how?
it's easy as
a
b
c
- a
- b
- c

# Structure inside List elements
Due to the issue of lists ending on the first non-list character line, special efforts must be taken in order to build multi-paragraph and multi-element list items.
Breaking up a paragraph should be done with . This will create a new line without breaking the list.  will do this as well, but is a little trickier to get right.
Sometimes an element in a list needs to consist of both a sub-list, and further text that isn't a part of the sub-list. This too is achievable, placing a colon at the correct level will allow you to continue the list element without mess. This is not a perfect solution, as the indent is not always well-aligned with the list indents.
- List Element 1
Sub-list element 1
Sub-list element 2
Continuing List Element 1
- Sub-list element 1
- Sub-list element 2
- This is an example of a list element across several lines.By inserting , we can spread the list element across several lines without having to go into multiple list elements.Pretty spiffy, no?
- In this example, we use paragraph markers to make multiple lines.This works just as well, but does require a little foresight, as paragraph markers need to surround the text.This, to many is not a hindrance
- A ordinary ol' List element

# Numbered lists across multiple columns
In some cases, it's necessary or useful to spread a numbered list across several columns (such as in a table). Wiki mark-up cannot handle this. Instead, HTML code needs to be used:
becomes:
This system, of course, does not need to be used for bullet-point lists, as number preservation isn't an issue.
