Notes:
A list is a sequence of one or more list items of the same type.
The list items may be separated by any number of blank lines.
Two list items are of the same type if they begin with a list marker of the same type.
Two list markers are of the same type if (a) they are bullet list markers using the same character (-, +, or *) or (b) they are ordered list numbers with the same delimiter (either . or )).
A list is an ordered list if its constituent list items begin with ordered list markers, and a bullet list if its constituent list items begin with bullet list markers.
A list is loose if any of its constituent list items are separated by blank lines (loose list are wrapped in <p> tags), or if any of its constituent list items directly contain two block-level elements with a blank line between them. Otherwise a list is tight.
Notes:
No blank line is needed to separate a paragraph from a following list
Changing the bullet or ordered list delimiter starts a new list

HTML code:
Markdown display:
I have: 1. foo 10. bar 5) baz 11) buzz

### 1.7.3. Bullet (Unordered) Lists Markdown syntax: ```md + To start a list, there should be an empty line above + Create a list by starting a line with `+`, `-`, or `*` - Changing the sign will add a linespace (make new list) + Add text under an item This is a text under an item. Notice that there are two spaces at the end above. - Sub-lists are made by indenting 2 spaces (to ensure the next mark is fallen under the first character of previous list item): * Item 2a * Item 2b * Item 3 To end a list, there should be one empty line above. ``` Markdown display: + To start a list, there should be an empty line above + Create a list by starting a line with `+`, `-`, or `*` - Changing the sign will add a linespace (make new list) + Add text under an item This is a text under an item.

I need to add another paragraph below the second list item. * And here's the third list item.  * and the last list item ``` Markdown display: * This is the first list item. > A blockquote would look great below the second list item. * Here's the second list item.

Syntax for images is like the syntax for links, with one difference. Instead of link text, we have an image description.
The rules for this are the same as for link text, except that (a) an image description starts with ![ rather than [, and (b) an image description may contain links.
It is not recommended to use image links in reference format. Some apps will not preview those images.
Note:
add a backslash \ in front of the ASCII character.
Any ASCII punctuation character may be backslash-escaped
