Yay! I've often tried doing lists before on the forum, but never actually succeeded. I've not noticed anyone else using them either, so perhaps I'm not the only one that has failed to get to grips with them.

Here's the syntax you need:

For a simple, unordered list with bullets:

Code: Select all

[list]
[*]First item
[*]Second item
[*]Third item[/list]

The above code produces the following output:

• First item
• Second item
• Third item

For an ordered list, with numbers:

Code: Select all

[list=1]
[*]First item
[*]Second item
[*]Third item[/list]

The above code produces the following output:

1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item

You can also do ordered lists with letters:

Code: Select all

[list=a]
[*]First item
[*]Second item
[*]Third item[/list]

The above code produces the following output:

1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item

It was the [*] thing that I've not done in the past and have only just discovered. You need to put that at the start of each list item.
