Confluence Docs 3.0 : Working with Lists This page last changed on Oct 24, 2007 by smaddox. Confluence allows you to create bulleted or numbered lists, and is flexible enough to allow a combination of the two lists. If you need to separate the text within lists using line breaks, make sure you do so using a double slash (//). Empty lines may disrupt the list. ## Simple lists Use the hyphen (-) to create simple lists. Make sure there is a space between the hyphen and your text.
What you need to type | What you will get
--- | ---
    - some
    - bullet
    - points
| some bullet points
## Bulleted lists Use the asterisk (*) to create bullets. For each subsequent level, add an extra asterisk. Make sure there is a space between the asterisk and your text.
What you need to type | What you will get
--- | ---
    * some
    * bullet
    ** indented
    ** bullets
    * points
| some bullet indented bullets points
## Numbered lists Use the hash (#) to create numbered lists. Make sure there is a space between the hash and your text.
What you need to type | What you will get
--- | ---
    # a
    # numbered
    # list
| a numbered list
A second level of hashes will produce a sub-list, such as the alphabetical sub-list shown below.
What you need to type | What you will get
--- | ---
    # Here's a sentence.
    ## This is a sub-list point.
    ## And a second sub-list point.
    # Here's another sentence.
| Here's a sentence. This is a sub-list point. And a second sub-list point. Here's another sentence.
Try a third level of hashes to produce a sub-sub-list.
What you need to type | What you will get
--- | ---
    # Here's a sentence.
    ## This is a sub-list point.
    ### Third list level.
    ### Another point at the third level.
    ## And a second sub-list point.
    # Here's another sentence.
| Here's a sentence. This is a sub-list point. Third list level. Another point at the third level. And a second sub-list point. Here's another sentence.
| In numbered lists as described above, the format of the 'number' displayed at each list level may be different, depending upon your browser and the style sheets installed on your Confluence instance. So in some cases, you may see letters (A, B, C, etc; or a, b, c, etc) or Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, etc) at different list levels.
## Mixed lists
What you need to type | What you will get
--- | ---
    # Here
    #* is
    #* an
    # example
    #* of
    #* a
    # mixed
    # list
| Here is an example of a mixed list
