Help:Wiki-numbered lists

The WIKI provides a feature for displaying auto-numbered lists. This is quite powerful and flexible, but has a few tricks to it.

Simple lists

Simple numbered lists start with a # character on each line/paragraph:

1. First point
2. Second Point
3. Third Point

Each point may be an entire paragraph that displays as multiple lines.

1. First point
2. In this case I am making the "Second Point" much longer than either the "First Point" or the "Third Point" in order to demonstrate how a single point can wrap in display. Note that this point consists of more than a single sentence. Note how the subsequent lines are indented relative to the number.
3. Third Point

Indented lists

A numbered list may be indented, perhaps as part of a threaded exchange:

Top Level

Second level response.

Third level, after which will follow a third level numbered list.

1. First point
2. Second Point
3. Third Point

Sub lists

An item in a numbered list may have sub-lists under it:

1. First point
   1. Sub-point 1.1
   2. Sub-point 1.2
   3. Sub-point 1.3
2. Second Point
   1. Sub-point 2.1
   2. Sub-point 1.2
   3. Sub-point 1.3
3. Third Point

An item in a numbered list may have bulleted comments under it:

1. First point
   • Sub-point A
   1. Sub-point B
   2. Sub-point C
2. Second Point
   1. Sub-point D
   2. Sub-point E
   3. Sub-point F
3. Third Point
