If you want to make some part of text bold you should write it between single asterisks (*).

If you want to make some part of text bold you should write it between double asterisks (**), for example.

When you want to create an unordered list, just start every line with an asterisk (*), pluses (+), or hyphens (-)

Example:

*This is the first element of an unordered list

*This is the first element of an unordered list

*This is the first element of an unordered list

*This is the first element of an unordered list

Output:

• This is the first element of an unordered list
• This is the first element of an unordered list
• This is the first element of an unordered list
• This is the first element of an unordered list

But, if you want to create an ordered list, you should start each line with a number followed by a dot (1.)

Example:

1.This is the first element of an ordered list

2.This is the second element of an ordered list

3.This is the third element of an ordered list

4.This is the fourth element of an ordered list

Output:

1. This is the first element of an ordered list
2. This is the second element of an ordered list
3. This is the third element of an ordered list
4. This is the fourth element of an ordered list
