Lists

Some ideas are naturally a sequence, not a paragraph, steps to follow in order, options to weigh side by side, or work that still needs doing. Lists keep each item on its own line so a reader can take them in one at a time instead of untangling them from a sentence. Zelares supports bullet lists, numbered lists, nested lists, and task lists within a bounded Markdown subset. The editor recognizes -, *, and + bullets, . and ) ordered delimiters, and [ ]/[x]/[y] task states.

Bullet and numbered lists

Start a line with -, *, or + for a bullet, or a number followed by a period or closing parenthesis for an ordered step. Indent a line under a list item to nest it a level deeper.

- Item one
- Item two
  - Nested item

1. First step
2. Second step

When nested list items can be folded, the editor shows depth-aligned vertical guides through the owned continuation and descendant lines. These guides are presentation only: they do not add characters to Markdown or change the fold range.

Task lists

Add brackets after the bullet to turn a list item into a checkable task. The current editor supports bullet tasks with [ ], [x], or [X], or [y] states. Click the checkbox in the editor to toggle the current source state; other task-state characters remain unsupported.

- [ ] Not done
- [x] Done
- [y] Already done
  - [ ] Nested task

Context menu support

Right-click and open Paragraph to convert the current line to a bullet, numbered, or task list without typing the markers yourself.
