Bold, italics, links, pre can be embedded in lists.  Whitespace is optional before and after the - or # character.

!!!Unordered Lists

These lists are usually also refered to as bullet lists, however this term is misleading because with css you can format it as bold dashes as well...

Creole:
{{{
- Item 1
- Item 2
}}}

Recommended HTML:
{{{
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
</ul>
}}}

Output:
* Item 1
* Item 2

!! Leading Whitespace

People like Alex argued against allowing leading whitespace, citing the markup for [Headings] as a counter example. People like Christoph and Alain however reported that users will indent lists. The output then confuses non-technical people and requires a certain amount of handholding.
