Constructing a markdown list is not a difficult process since all you have to do is use some basic symbols. In case you want to construct an unordered list, put a hyphen or asterisk in front of the item. In case you are constructing an ordered list, then you just put the number followed by the period. You can also construct a nested list through indentation. This kind of list can be used for organizing steps, features, requirements, tasks, or notes.
