Lists can be fascinatingly nuanced these days, and like most tools with this publishing sytem, the Markdown options are usually the best bet. In those cases, the Markdown Guide covers the list options pretty well, and they’ll render nicely up to two levels deep. (Going more than a 2nd^ level deep in prose should be a sign that the structure could use some modification.)

Unordered

Unordered lists can be created with markdown, and the list item symbols adjust intelligently with the width of the screen. When a gutter is available, the text of the items will be vertically aligned with the surrounding text. Otherwise, the item symbols will be brought within the margins.

- Item One - One A - One B- Item Two- Item Three
  • Item One
    • One A
    • One B
  • Item Two
  • Item Three

Ordered

Ordered lists can be created with markdown as well, and all lists support mixing and matching.

1. Item One 1. One A 2. One B2. Item Two3. Item Three - Three A - Three B
  1. Item One
    1. One A
    2. One B
  2. Item Two
  3. Item Three
    • Three A
    • Three B
