## Overview

Using wiki notation, you can create ordered and unordered lists. To create unordered lists, use one or more * characters at the beginning of a line. Increasing the number of consecutive * characters (without spaces) increases the nesting level of the list item.
Similarly, to create ordered lists, use one or more # characters at the beginning of a line.
To create an unordered list, you can use the menu item Wiki - Lists - Unordered list or the button.
To create an ordered list, you can use the menu item Wiki - Lists - Ordered list or the button.
If the cursor is on a line that is already a list item (the line starts with the * or # character), clicking the or buttons, or selecting the corresponding menu items, will increase the nesting level of the list item.
Below are several examples of using lists in wiki notation.

## List styles

For unordered lists, you can change the style of bullets (the symbols placed at the beginning of each list item). This can be useful, for example, for creating to-do lists, where upcoming tasks can be marked with one style and completed tasks with another (special styles are provided for this). List styles are also helpful if you use the Bullet Journal methodology.
The style is specified after the unordered list * character and consists of a pair of square brackets, which may contain an additional character defining the style. The following table lists the currently supported styles:
