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


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

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# Third Point
