Bold, italics, links, pre can be embedded in lists.  Whitespace is optional before and after the - or # character. Also see [[lists reasoning]] for creole's decisions.

!!!Unordered Lists

These lists are usually also refered to as bullet lists, howev
2000
er 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

!!!Ordered Lists
Creole:
{{{
# Item 1
# Item 2
}}}

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

Output:
# Item 1
# Item 2

!!! Nesting

Lists can be nested:

Creole:
{{{
* Item 1
* Item 2
** Item 2.1
** Item 2.2
}}}

Recommended HTML:
{{{
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2
  <ul>
  <li>Item 2.1</li>
  <li>Item 2.2</li>
  </ul>
</li>
</ul>
}}}

Output:
* Item 1
* Item 2
** Item 2.1
** Item 2.2

!!! Mixing

Nested lists can be mixed by repeating the list item character multiple times:

Creole:
{{{
* Item 1
* Item 2
## Item 2.1
## Item 2.2
}}}

Recommended HTML:
{{{
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2
  <ol>
  <li>Item 2.1</li>
  <li>Item 2.2</li>
  </ol>
</li>
</ul>
}}}

Output:
* Item 1
* Item 2
## Item 2.1
## Item 2.2

!!! Leading Whitespace

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

Note that leading whitespace has no effect on the nesting of the list item. The number list item character repetitions determines the nesting level.

Creole:
{{{
  * Item 1
  * Item 2
    **  Item 2.1
     ** Item 2.2
}}}

Recommended HTML:
{{{
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2
  <ul>
  <li>Item 2.1</li>
  <li>Item 2.2</li>
  </ul>
</li>
</ul>
}}}

Output:
* Item 1
* Item 2
** Item 2.1
** Item 2.2
