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.

Bullet and numbered lists

Start a line with - for a bullet, or a number and a period 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

Task lists

Add brackets after the bullet to turn a list item into a checkable task. Click the checkbox in the editor to toggle it between [ ] and [x] instead of editing the Markdown by hand.

- [ ] Not done
- [x] 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.
