Layout
Making discussions easy to follow
|
Indenting can help improve the layout of a discussion, making it much easier to read. You should always indent your reply one level deeper than the person you are replying to. The best way to indent is to place a colon (:) at the beginning of a line. The more colons you use, the further indented the text will be.

To create a list, add an asterisk (*) at the start of each point. This goes after any markup (:, *, or #) that were used in the preceding line. It will add a bullet point (•) to each line, like this:
| You type |
You get |
|
:* First list item
:* Second list item
:** Sub-list item under second
:* Third list item
|
-
- First list item
- Second list item
- Sub-list item under second
- Third list item
