Rendered HTML Output
<ul><li>Item one</li><li>Item two</li><li>Also works</li><li>Or plus</li></ul> <ol><li>First</li><li>Second</li><li>Third</li></ol>
Explanation
Unordered: start lines with -, *, or +. Ordered: use 1. 2. 3. (number doesn't matter for output). Add a blank line before lists to avoid merging with preceding paragraphs.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Ordered list numbers are normalized to 1,2,3 in output. Use 1. for all items if you want auto-numbering.
