Learning Markdown helps you make your great content look great!

I created an online course called Steem Markdown, which teaches you how to use Markdowns to format your Steemit posts.

In this post, I am including information from Lesson #7 - Ordered Lists/Numbered Lists.

If you want to access the full online course (19 lessons) for FREE, click here!

Getting Started

Lists allow you to display a group of items in an orderly fashion. There are ordered lists and unordered lists.

• Ordered lists, commonly referred to as numbered lists, contain a numerical order or ranking.
• Ordered lists can be used for step-by-step instructions and ranking the outcome of an events, such as a race.

Important things to remember:

• Ordered or Numbered lists use the following format:
  number + period + space + list item
• It does not matter which numbers are used to create an ordered list.
• Sub-lists can be created for ordered lists.
• You can indent paragraphs and indent lines in ordered lists.
