Bold, italics, links, pre can be embedded in lists. Only one level lists are supported in v0.1 (i.e. no sublevels and no mixed unordered and ordered 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.
