Lists

You can use lists to better structure, organize, and present your content. Lists allow making specific items visually separated from other parts of the text which makes skimming and locating important information much easier. They draw readers' attention to the parts where you want to highlight selected information, present a series of steps, and enumerate items of a collection.

You can easily create ordered, unordered, and to-do lists using the editor toolbar buttons or autoformatting options.

Ordered (numbered) lists

Numbered lists are used when the order of the items matters. They are frequently used in instruction manuals to convey a sequence of steps that must be taken in the exact order.

You can create numbered lists in two ways:

1. Use the toolbar button for creating ordered lists
2. Start a line with 1. or 1) followed by a space

Unordered (bulleted) lists

Bulleted lists can be used when you want to present items that are easily located in the text but the order of them does not matter. They could be used to provide a list of requirements to set up a device/program.

You can create bulleted lists in two ways:

• Use the toolbar button  for creating unordered lists
• Start a line with  - or * followed by a space

Checklists/to-do lists

Checklists communicate items that need to be completed. You can create a list of interactive checkboxes with labels. All features of regular lists are also supported in checklists so you can have a checklist combined with bulleted and numbered lists in different patterns.

You can create bulleted lists in two ways:

• Use the toolbar button    for creating checklists (to-do lists). You can check/uncheck each box by clicking.
• Start a line with [ ] or [x] followed by a space to insert an unchecked or checked item, respectively.

Keyboard support

You can select an item from a to-do list and check/uncheck it using Ctrl + Enter (Cmd + Enter on Mac).
