# Lists

### Ordered Lists

Ordered lists are created by prefixing each list item with a number followed by a period. Markdown automatically numbers the items sequentially.

    1. First item
    2. Second item
    3. Third item

#### Example

1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item

### Unordered Lists

Unordered lists are created by prefixing each list item with a hyphen, asterisk, or plus sign. Markdown treats all three symbols as equivalent and creates a bulleted list.

    - First item
    - Second item
    - Third item

#### Example

- First item
- Second item
- Third item
